                Taste! Discussions about investigating aesthetic practices

Ergebnisse aus dem Schmeck!-Projekt
Results of the project Taste!


At the beginning of 2019 10 professional und 25 amateur researchers began to
research taste and how it works. More than two years later we have gained
insights into how tasting takes place, and how it can be changed. We also
learned a lot about how to do citizen science.
In six discussions we share our experiences and what we learned with guests
who share our interests and the wider public. Each event will take place on
Wednesday from 5:00 pm until 6:15 pm CET. Discussion are held either in German
or English depending on the guests.

How Can We Study Taste As It Happens?

Guest: Antoine Hennion (Ecole des Mines, Paris)

Language: English



The research team developed a new method they called “Gustography” to
explore everyday taste experiences. Everybody disposes over a specific
repertoire of tasting practices performed in cooking, eating, experiencing,
describing, and evaluating food. What can we learn from these practices for
researching taste?

In order to explore taste as a performative experience, a way of enhancing the
propensity of things, our guest Antoine Hennion (Ecole des Mines, Paris) will
return on exercises made during his seminar "Attachements". By varying both
tasted objects (music, wine, food, etc.) and the level of tasters'
involvement, we could put to the test contrasted relationships with uncertain
objects, but also collectively react to such artificial montages, and thus
help participants recall and describe their ordinary ways of tasting things.

How To Experimentally Shape Taste?

Guest: Christy Spackman

Language: English



In autumn 2020 the project team organized the exhibition “Taste! Experiments
for the senses” at the Museum of Natural History Berlin. During the
exhibition, around 1000 visitors explored in 6 experiments the situatedness of
taste and how it can be creatively changed. How did the participants
experience the experimental setting, and what can we learn from this?

What if we used flavor to tell stories about our hopes and fears for the
future? Our guest Christy Spackman (Arizona State University)  presents an
in-progress collaborative food science project, "Flavor Stories", that upends
some of the core assumptions about what industrial food science does and who
gets to do it, and will invite participants to co-create with her their own
edible stories about the future.

Bitterparty möbliert: ein partizipatives Kunstprojekt feiert den
widerständigen Geschmack

Guest: Eva Sturm

Language: German



Together with researchers of the Schmeck!Project, we developed a spreadable
ten-course menu with bitter notes. We offer this at bitterparties in public
spaces. Stools of different heights serve as seating - as a slide into
conversation. The party game is at the same time scientific accompanying
research on bitter.

Citizen Science – wer, was, wie und warum überhaupt?

Language: German



35 researchers with different visions, knowledge, and resources – how can
research (of tasting) profit from citizen science and where are the limits? We
discuss these questions against the background of perspectives and experiences
in the Schmeck!-Projekt.

Schmecken: Farbe, Formen und Geschmacksrichtungen

Guest: Guido Ritter

Language: German



During the Night of Science Berlin Brandenburg 2019, participants were invited
to intensively experience their senses of taste at the ‘Geschmackslabor
meets SCHMECK’ event. Star chef Daniel Gottschlich and a team of chefs
prepared the food served during 45 min sessions throughout the evening. Here,
we present the results of this unique evening. Our discussant is Prof. Dr.
Guido Ritter, professor for food law, sensory science and product development
at the University of Applied Sciences Münster. He is one of the CEO of the
Institute for Sustainable Nutrition and the German association for sensory
science. Guido Ritter asks whether taste is more than tasting.

Taste-Journey – A Workshop (7pm)

Language: German



Together (in front of the camera) we want to explore how tasting works. We
want to get to know ourselves, surprise ourselves, inspire ourselves and much
more and exchange ideas.
