This group eating experience invites the guests to partake in food with not just their senses, but also their imagination.

Plates were food dye stenciled with a few simple graphics. Guests used the photobooth at the end of the buffet table to photograph their plate of food. The photos were transferred live by wireless network and projected onto the wall above the buffet table. A rotating exhibit of six guests’ plates were on display for the entire reception to view.

Oh, we’re taking photos? Well I’ll need more color then. How about a strawberry… and a pepper. That’s better!

Rather than mindlessly load up plates with food, as people might do, guests found themselves making more thoughtful decisions around eating based on their own sense of aesthetics.
