Thank You
The FoodCHI team would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended FoodCHI 2014. Whether you joined Marketa’s food hacking workshop on Thursday, the symposium on Friday, the farm tour on Saturday, or all of the above, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Photos and video snippets from FoodCHI are now on our Media page for your enjoyment - we particularly like the cow chorus in the Millen Farm interview.
We would love to hear from you about your FoodCHI experiences, and feedback is always welcome and appreciated. Visit our Contact page to let us know what you think. We loved meeting you all, so please stay in touch via Facebook, Twitter or the SIGCHI community.

FoodCHI 2014
Workshop + Symposium + Farm Tour
18 – 20 September 2014, QUT, Brisbane
http://foodchi.urbaninformatics.net
Are you interested in food? Are you interested in how design and technology impacts food culture? Are you interested in a future with healthy, environmentally sustainable, and socially inclusive urban foodscapes?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, come and join us for FoodCHI 2014 hosted by Urban Informatics Research Lab at QUT in Brisbane, Australia.
FoodCHI (Food Computer-Human Interaction) brings together practitioners and academics to engage in critical discussions about how, through design, digital and networked technologies can shape future foodscapes. To inspire ideas and down-to-earth discussions, FoodCHI offers a hands-on design workshop on experimental food hacking with data, a visit to local farms to investigate the root of food culture, and stimulating dining experiences.
Thu 18 Sep 2014: Taste of Data Workshop by Markéta Dolejšová
10am – 1pm
James Street Cooking School, New Farm
Markéta Dolejšová is an artist and food researcher from the Czech Republic. She will be running the workshop based on the HotKarot & OpenSauce project. In this workshop, participants will learn how to transform their personal stories into data, which is then interpreted into an edible form. Here, we taste our lives by making the ultimate prototype of shared "social stomach" representing the most profound kind of communication.
Fri 19 Sep 2014: FoodCHI Symposium
9am – 5:30pm (plus optional dinner at Eat Street Markets)
QUT Gardens Point Campus, D Block, level 2, Room D214
Director of Abriculture and indigenous leader Seth Fourmile (Gudju Gudju) will give the keynote speech. The symposium will also feature a selection of local and international academics and practitioners speaking on a diverse range of issues at the intersection of food, design, and technologies. Dale Chapman, Bush Tucker chef, will be providing tasty fare for all symposium delegates.
Sat 20 Sep 2014: Farm Tour
9am – 5pm
Visiting: SpurTopia (New Farm), Pims Organics Farm (Glass House Mountains) and Millen Farm (Samford) – lunch and transport included
A bus has been arranged to transport the attendees of this farm tour. The farm tour attendees will meet at the corner of Alice Street and George Street, on the QUT side, closest to the bus stops, at 8:50am. Keep an eye out for the red Australia Post box.
On Saturday, attendees will head back to nature and explore the roots of food culture at SpurTopia in New Farm, Pims Organics Farm on the Sunshine Coast (next to the beautiful Glass House Mountains) and Millen Farm in Samford. SpurTopia is an inspiring example of backward brilliance in the field of home-grown sustainability, while Pims Organics has been in the large-scale organics business for over 10 years. Millen Farm is an exciting new vision of community-supported agriculture, with it's sights set on sustainable organics. Merriweather Cafe will provide a locally-sourced lunch and Rob Pekin (Food Connect) will give a talk on connecting people for a sustainable future.
