(Mukbang Live)
@ 2020 Labor Residency, Santa Fe Art Institute ︎Santa Fe, New Mexico
The artist is witnessed eating Pad Thai while chatting with viewers, then blending the food with white bleach to make a “fusion” Pad Thai. The piece, as part of the event for the “Platform: Engaging the Ethics of Production and Consumption” exhibition at the Santa Fe Art Institute, pushed the boundaries of video mediums to increase social engagement and interaction between viewers and the artist. These stills from the ASMR mukbang performance were presented to viewers through desktop and mobile devices.
From their press release:
Performer May Maylisa Cat replicates the act of meditative consumption by a livestream ASMR Mukbang performance blending virtual and real-time audience engagements that challenges the fantasy of globalism and playfully undermine capitalism’s problematic production, food conviviality, and the consumption of the cultural “Other.”
Medium: performance, livestream broadcasting system, facebook, pad thai
Duration: 21 minutes
