"For those who understand photography as a language and therefore not capable of being an icon and a language simultaneously—for language is not usually considered a sign system—I would argue that photography is a branch of cognitive linguistics in that as a particular language it situates itself to a particular environment. The language of photography is the product of how photography is consumed"

In an effort to move into the universe of research about industrial artificial sensory pleasures, we visited MOFAD. The current exhibition, Flavor: Making It and Faking It,
presents the history of our love affair with flavor enhancement and
MSG. Developments in flavor technology were in large part promoted and
accelerated by war and industrial food preservation.

Eat This was organized by MCLA’s Advanced Museum Studies class, taught by Laura Thompson, director of education and curator of Kidspace at MASS MoCA.
The class determined the exhibition should address issues surrounding food are complex, and not necessarily black and white. Students created an exhibit that would bring attention to the eating habits of most Americans. Poor food choices, stress, lack of access, finances and access healthy eating choices, various diet options, marketing and packaging of food, and the food industrial complex were all topics of classroom discussions.

Drawing on advances ranging from the brain science of food addiction to how plants communicate with insects,The Dorito Effectshows how we have interfered with a highly sophisticated chemical language that evolved to guide our nutrition. Evolution did not program us to get fat—we've simply tricked ourselves into craving the wrong foods.
