Aerobanquets RMX – An Immersive Gastronomic Experience

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Members Unity People , Posted on:

Created by Mattia Casalegno and presented in collaboration with the chef Flavio Ghignoni Carestia, the Aerobanquets RMX is an immersive, sensorial experience focussed on the perception of taste. Loosely based on the Futurist Cookbook, the (in)famous Italian book of surreal dinners and recipes first published in 1932, the Aerobanquets was premiered at the Chronus Art Center in Shanghai in Spring 2018.

Part manifesto, part artistic joke, the Futurist Cookbook is a collection of recipes, experiments, declamations and allegorical tales: here are recipes for ice cream on the moon; candied atmospheric electricities; nocturnal love feasts; sculpted meats. The Futurist Cookbook is a provocative, visionary work on the future of nourishment, which well ahead of time touched on issues of post-capitalistic societies and labor that are so relevant to our times. Aligned with the futurist notion of a “total work of art”, the Aerobanquets RMX are veritable multisensorial journeys encompassing all the senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch.
