A Sunday playlist: 50s/60s Country
A Sunday watch: The Red Shoes (1948)
A check-in: When I feel overwhelmed,
I remember what I love.
Scents,
sounds,
textures.
The smell of bergamot, the sound of birds, old tv grain.
Something I’m thinking about:
I’m thinking about the art and technologies we’re currently creating. Is it imaginative? Is it useful? Is it distracting? Is it good? I think there is room for very good art right now.
Something that inspires me:
The idea of the future, according to the postwar era, starting in the 1950s, fascinates me. With the exploration of space—the first moon landing having happened in 1959, and the women liberation movement rising, the kitchen was the first place for innovation and new ideas.
The Monsanto Kitchen of the Future, presented at Disneyland’s Tomorrowland in the 1950s, showcased an ambitious vision of a technologically advanced culinary environment.
This futuristic kitchen concept aimed to eliminate waste, simplify meal planning, and promote healthier eating habits.
The kitchen featured automated meal preparation systems capable of creating customized, nutritionally balanced meals based on individual dietary needs.
