These raw ideas stem from recognizing that we live in an age of

information overload which provides us at the same time with

possibilities for connection over networks formed by shared

discourses beyond territorial and linguistic borders.

However, this raw DATA tends be subjected to Cartesian and systematic

organization through institutionalized systems like arts,

engineering, activism or social theory.

Nonetheless, these flowing identities of raw data overflow any

attempt to format them - producing contradictions even while

acquiring an “institutional” meaning.

Our effort is for all “DATA-processed-discourses” to be perceived as

a chaotic dance of entities, sculpted into symbolic rituals, “cruelty

theater" aesthetics AND REAL PRESENCE of direct action, leading to an

immediate perception of human dimension.

This is the ambition of “cooking” projects.

This feedback and mirroring of data will cause the sensation of

simultaneous presence and the "kitchens" will become places that

transcend geographical borders taking the ingredients from, and

contributing to, a common database for reality constructions.

This will influence direct action and relationships through the

network. The processes caused by the “kitchen” should also be

registered and reprocessed in new rituals and future ideas.

We stimulate the rhythmic use of the "kitchen", spoken words,

musicalization of cooking acts. We ask for the use of different

languages and accents as you cook this data. After the dinner, one

should digest the data and spread the consequent energy through

direct action in the streets.
