The mission of the group is to map food controversies, prototype alternative culinary futures[2] and imagine a more just, biodiverse & beautiful food system.[3]

Selected works
The Glowing Sushi Cooking Show
The Glowing Sushi Cooking Show (2010) was an online cook show that "uses everyday ingredients and some simple kitchen chemistry to explore cutting edge biotechnology."[18] and "finds an unexpected use for the first genetically engineered animal you can buy."[19]
According to scholar Lindsay Kelley "Fish do not usually cross the pet/meat divide, with pet species kept separate from species that are farmed or caught as food. Glowing Sushi confuses these boundaries, collapsing the laboratory, kitchen, and aquarium to illustrate the ways in which a Glo-Fish's tranimality crosses and complicates relations between jellies, zebrafish, and humans."[20]
EDIBLE Exhibition
EDIBLE: The Taste of Things to Come (2012) was an exhibition curated by the Center for Genomic Gastronomy at Science Gallery, Trinity College Dublin.
In addition to exhibits, the show included events like curated meals, talks from local and international foodies, and selected recipes. A major component of the exhibition were the feeding times, prepared by the in-gallery kitchen, where visitors got the chance to experience various ingredients and curious tasters such as the vegan ortolan created by the Center for Genomic Gastronomy.[21]
Food Phreaking
FOOD PHREAKING (2013-present) is the journal of experiments, exploits and explorations of the human food system. Each issue contains stories about the space where food, technology & open culture meet.[22] In the introduction of the book Literature and Food Studies the authors use Food Phreaking as a case study to argue for the importance of close readings of vernacular literary practices.[23]
