New Cuts and Burns resident Ann TBD will be working on programming miniature Teeth TVs as part of an ongoing project exploring food and identity. Each TV will play a short video related to food preparation and consumption. Food nourishes us and creates a cultural-biological ecosystem within our bodies. The enzymes and bacteria we develop in response to the foods we eat are representative of our individual food histories, which are deeply influenced by our family and cultural background. The TVs will invite viewers into a mosaic of her personal and cultural identity, through the lens of food. Meant to be held, the teeth encasing the screen provide a tactile connection to the piece that the viewer is consuming, and turns the act of consumption back on the viewer.
