Exhibitor’s text

Step into The Liminal Eatery, a 'phygital' dining venture. It explores the digital shift of our sensory encounters, as activities like dining, writing, and socialising evolve into online routines. Every element - from table to cutlery, seating to lamp - is made by 3D printing techniques. This fusion of additive manufacturing and multisensory elements prompts contemplation. How might we harmonise physicality and the digital? Can our surroundings and digital engagements truly enliven our senses? Take a seat, engage with a digital lifeform and spark a dialogue on the intersection of our senses, social existence, and technology.
