DIGITAL SEASONING
Taste is created mostly, if not entirely, in our minds. Digital Seasoning changes taste perception.
Project Digital Seasoning introduces the possibility to season our food digitally. L. Snevele visualized the five basic tastes- sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami.
Could we eat healthier in the future by using our brain to season our food? Drawing from the neurological research of experimental psychologist charles spence, who explains that elements like color, shape, sound, temperature, and material can be used to intensify or create illusions about taste, digital seasoning activates one’s brain neurons just by looking at the expressive visualizations.
