AFTERTASTE project
Our artists Jill Scoot and Marille Hahne during 2019 have made several visits to our research partners to lay the foundations of their artistic project.
AFTERTASTE is the name chosen for their project that is based on the health of the human olfaction and gustatory systems and the feedback between these systems and the content is based on the primary and secondary compounds found in the chicory root.
If you want to know more, don´t wait to read the attached documents with the report of 2019 activities and the artistic project design plan.
