New Clothes: Tracing the Industrial Food Apparatus

Challenges Entered: 
A surprising amount of information can be found on brands and their manufacturers by searching Wikipedia. What this project will do is to index as much of this information as possible within a particular environment – the supermarket – so that this process can be make automatable, and eventually mobile. I envision a future where shoppers can put store-bought items under the scrutiny of collective knowledge, and put their true social and environmental aesthetics in full view.
