2 FEB. 2023 · Ever wonder just what goes into making a delicious beer? Ayumi Matsuzaka, a Japanese artist based in Berlin, went beyond the usual home brew process in her 2015 work Future Beer, Berlin Cycle. Because it's not just about the ingredients you use, but what went into growing those ingredients.
In this episode Summer chats with Ayumi about closing nutrient cycles, the power of disgust, and the difference between art and business. And Cory and Summer look at the work's playfullness, how it incorporates non-human participants, and the right time to drink beer in a closet. Also featuring Cristal Peck, a brewer and biologist, and Stefan Riekeles, curator of the Dortmund Cycle.
