08 February 2013, Andrew Gryf Paterson

Seungho Lee is the first micro-resident of 2013 in Pixelache office from 18-22.2. to consider and discuss the Food-info-activism theme of Pixelversity 2013 programme, from the perspective of strategic design and policy intervention.

Seungho Lee (KR/FI) is a strategic designer, lecturer and design researcher working and residing in Helsinki. He initiated Beef Finland project in 2012 in which he investigated the ramifications of beef-eating at a global scale, as well as in Finnish context, on which he has given talks in Helsinki, New York, and Shanghai. He currently teaches at Aalto University, where he is a doctoral candidate and member of NODUS Sustainable Design Research Group.

We hope to imagine future collaborations together during that period, and if you are interested to visit our office that week for conversation, contact andrew [-at-] pixelache.ac & visit the page about his micro-residency which will develop during the period.

Project: Foodycle
The food system is not a chain as it is usually referred to, rather, it could be described as consisting of a multitude of interdependent cycles. Problematic issues with the prevailing food system have become increasingly publicised in recent years. Pollution in the Baltic Sea, the horse meat scandal, and animal welfare issues are just the tip of the iceberg. The response from food activists and also the general public has been a call for a more transparent food system.

Last year Pixelache & Ruoan Tulevaisuus initiated Foodycle, a transdisciplinary festival, for anyone interested in food issues. It brings together artists, designers, scientists, grassroots organisations, students, and consumers in general.

Post: Epilogue: Pixelache micro-residency on Food-info-activism
11 March 2013 16:12, John W. Fail
This post is made as the epilogue of my micro-residency at Pixelache during March 18-22 2013. You can find a post on my blog about my expectations and anticipation made on the first day, which was for me to make sense of the collaboration. It's been already two weeks after I've spent my time in Pixelache. It was rather short, in part because I was ill for a day, but also Pixelache's mode of operations was quite hard to comprehend in the beginning as to why Pixelache is interested in Food-Info-Activism. Having started mainly with electronic arts in its inception, it seemed Pixelache and its...
