DataWagashi: The Future of Multisensory Data Experience

DataWagashi is an experimental approach that transforms data into a multisensory dining experience. Wagashi are traditional Japanese confections deeply rooted in the idea of a microcosm of time and space. DataWagashi ventures beyond conventional data visualization and crafts a gastronomic journey that communicates data stories through multidimensional sensory elements like taste, smell, texture and touch. By blending technology and traditional craft, DataWagashi turns data into an accessible and immersive edible experience while inspiring recipe innovation for the time-honoured food. This online exhibition features an introduction, selected DataWagashi sets and a few recipes easy to follow, illustrating the process and power of transforming data into edible, sensory-rich Wagashi experiences.
