E-tapas: Tasting + Workshop

07/03/2013 11:00 to 09/03/2013 18:00 09/03/2013 19:00 to 21:00

Tasting E-tapas
Sat March 9, 19:00 – 21:00,
STRP Festival, Klokgebouw (light lounge/bar, 1st floor)
Admission free with valid STRP Festival ticket, register via carmin[at]baltanlaboratories[dot]org

Create and eat your own e-Tapas, made from edible solar cells, with a 0.6 volt buzz that makes your tongue tingle. Explore innovative applications of Aronia (berries) and flax, plants that have been around for centuries, in a surprising table landscape.

During STRP Festival Baltan presents E-Tapas: an open laboratory and tasting session at the intersection of food and textiles, photosynthesis and biomimicry. The Belgian artist Bartaku (Bart Vandeput) and French designer Carole Collet (Central St Martin’s College of Art and Design) show the most strange, juicy, tasty ideas found in their study on the relationship between energy and food. They combine biology and nanotechnology and explore a future where designers become alchemists. Prior to the tasting students, artists and scientists explore these techniques during a three day workshop. Eindhoven cook Andre Amaro (Ketelhuis) will prepare a special recipe based on flax. The result is a true tasting, which activates all senses. Come and enjoy the findings…

Three day workshop Edible Alchemy led by Bartaku & Carole Collet
Ketelhuis,  March 7,8,9, 11:00 – 18:00
Admission fee: 15 Euros including lunch & drinks
Submit before March 1, via carmin[AT]baltanlaboratories[DOT]org

In the first day participants will be developing resilient strategies for design, including concept ‘product’ development. In the second day students will apply resilience thinking to a plant system, exploring how far one can push the adaptation for different raw materials. In this case the making of controllable measurable energy using fruit berries (Aronia Melanocarpa). The workshop ends with a staging moment, where fellow friends, relatives, teachers and students are invited for testing and tasting in a specifically designed/staged setting, at STRP Festival.

The workers had levels of exposure to BPA that were 50 times what an average U.S. man faces. But the findings raise questions about whether exposure at lesser levels can affect sexual function, Li said. "This was a highly exposed group, and we see the effect," he said. "Now, we have to worry about lower-level exposure." Best Canadian Online Pharmacy where you can buy cialis canadian pharmacy cialis for sale Drugs Over 200 commonly prescribed drugs are known to cause or contribute to impotence, including drugs for high blood pressure, heart medications, antidepressants, tranquilizers, and sedatives. A number of over-the-counter medications also can lead to impotence. Long-term use of alcohol and illicit drugs may affect the vascular and nervous systems and are associated with erectile dysfunction. Condoms offer the most protection against STIs of all the barrier method options. Using a spermicide with condoms can offer better protection against pregnancy, but it does not increase your protection against STIs . Spermicides containing nonoxynol-9 can cause genital irritation and can actually increase your risk of catching an STI. buy cialis 40mg here buy cialis The nanoparticle therapy was tested on 18 rats bred to have age-related ED. Some rats received nanoparticles with nitric oxide, others received nanoparticles with nitric oxide plus an experimental ED drug called silorphin (which has a different mechanism of action than PDE5 inhibitors) and a third group of rats received nanoparticles with nitric oxide and the PDE5 inhibitor tadalafil (Cialis). Reality: Although the majority of diagnosed ED cases are a result of physical diseases that cause damage to nerves, fibrous tissues, and arteries (such as diabetes, MS, vascular disease, and neurological disease), experts theorize that up to 20 percent of ED cases are due to anxiety, stress, depression, and other psychological factors, according to the National Kidney and Urologic Disease Information Clearinghouse (NIDDK). One of the most common psychological causes of erectile dysfunction is performance anxiety that may result after several failed attempts at intercourse. The anxiety may increase, leading to more failed attempts, ultimately resulting in a cycle of anxiety and sexual failure.
