- Fermentation
- GutHub
The Fermentation Guthub is a space for amateur food science projects focused on local food sustainability issues as well as on DIY experiments with gut microbiome.
- The GutHub was alive in 2014-2018, as a lively community of food artists, tinkerers and researchers experimenting with speculative devices and approaches to engage with/in local food cultures. One of such experiment was the Internet of Microbes (IoM) – a ‘smart’ network of citizens connected over microbial cultures and peer-to-peer fermentation practices, created as a socially and environmentally sustainable alternative to IoT utopias and techno-solutionist frauds.
- The system was made of four main components:
- Fermentation Bank — a public bank for free deposits and withdrawals of fermentaiton starter cultures
- UnChope Makan — a crowdsourced map of places where locals offer their starters for sharing
- Mother 0.1. incubator — a simple DIY hackware to preserve and cultivate starters
- GutHub Github — a scrapbook of fermentation recipes, tutorials and experiences
