“I wanted to investigate the material, social, symbolic, and ideological relations in the food delivery world, an anthropology study based on the poems/reviews written by the users on a famous food delivery platform. The angriest and worst reviews from the UK have generated this book.“
“The Sacred Pizza and the Abominable Platforms is an algorithmic-assisted curated collection of text and images taken from food delivery platforms. Reviews and pictures are presented in different configurations through the pages, from bold critical slogans to hypnotizing alimentary compositions.
Taking off from Marvin Harris’ Good to Eat: Riddles of Food and Culture, the book proposes an hyronic AI-powered excursus on food delivery dynamics by scraping data from their platforms, shifting the geographical paradigm of Harris’ original with the cultural potpourri of the digital non-place.
A self-fascinated compendium of frustration formalized in quilted images, mantra-like rants and data-driven poetic endeavors as a bequest for future anthropologists and gastronomists.”
