【思辨设计】味觉还原协会—假如人类失去了味觉？ Original

Taste Restoration Association (TRA) is a speculative design work created with the methodology of design fiction.
"Can human perception be replaced silently?"
In the next 100 years, due to a sudden virus pandemic, most people in the world will lose their sense of taste, and most people will no longer be able to taste the taste of dishes. Therefore, the United Nations established the Taste Restoration Association to bring together a very small number of people who are immune to the virus and still have a sense of taste, aiming to help people use other senses to experience the lost taste. These people have become chefs in the new era. Chefs no longer focus on making dishes, but design the shape and color of tableware with different tastes, and use the appearance and smell of tableware to restore the taste that has disappeared. Tableware has become the core element of the dining experience. . Through the design of the disappearance and replacement of the sense of taste, the audience is inspired to think about the long-standing problem of concept replacement and synesthesia in human society.
