Morality Calculus Tasting Event
Edinburgh Science Festival

Free (ticketed) For access info, please contact the venue directly
Alongside the artwork of yeast-human bread, a tasting event will be held to provide a theatrical genetic dining experience for the participants to explore their personal morality calculus by eating food fermented by fictional hybrid organisms with a variety of DNA fusions. Through ordering, tasting and becoming with the food, we invite you to calculate the incalculable – the morality of genes from different living beings, and reflect on the choices you’ve made throughout the process. Bon appétit.
Presented by The University of Edinburgh, Summerhall and ASCUS Art & Science, in partnership with Edinburgh Futures Institute
