Magia Comestibilis

Overview

Magia Comestibilis questions our relationship with food by bringing together the simple dietary traditions of centenarians of Sardinia’s Blue Zone and the tech-driven practices of contemporary biohackers. Positioning artificial intelligence, that is fed by scientific and cultural data, as a tool for generating recipes, the film traces the possibility of creating an “immortality food” through the collaboration of humans, bacteria and algorithms.
