Art meets AI to reinvent tomorrow’s food systems ○ S+T+ARTS Hungry EcoCities
We did it! We successfully managed the Hungry EcoCities project, and now the exciting results are making waves in European media.
“Art can give rise to all sorts of new ideas about food and how we promote it.”
Jeroen van der Most, Vegetable Vendetta, Hungry EcoCities
This quote from the Horizon: the EU Research & Innovation Magazine perfectly captures the innovative spirit of the project. We’re proud to have led a consortium of incredible partners to explore how art and AI can transform our food systems for the better. The article for example highlights groundbreaking projects like “Acoustic Agriculture,” which uses AI to create “symphonies” for plants to monitor their responses, and “Vegetable Vendetta,” which uses algorithms to craft luxury-style ads for vegetables, to help small farmers compete with big brands by giving them access to compelling, AI-generated visuals.
It’s a huge success to see our collaborative efforts recognised by a major European publication. This article is a testament to the power of bringing diverse minds together – from artists and scientists to companies and researchers – to build a more sustainable and ethical European food future.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined this project, worked so hard on it, and made this impact happen!
