Nowadays people pay a lot of attention to their phones, even while having a meal with their family or friends. This installation redirects their attention, makes them focus and be present in the moment. The users have to collaborate in order to eat - by moving the cutlery they can close or open another person's plate. The logic for controlling the mechanism depends on the number of players and is for them to figure out.

The installation was presented at Fooddock in Deventer (Netherlands) - http://en.fooddock.nl/
