We are searching for the lost knowledge of brewing with seaweed. Inspired by a historical rumor that the Inuit of Kamchatka made an alcoholic beverage from red algae, we set out on a journey to find the recipe. Along our trail we`re exploring traditional refining processes in the light of new science, poetry and good conversations.
Our exhibitions consisted of installations, sculptures, interventions & film from our journey in the universe of macrealgae and marine resources. We been investigateing the bar as an artistic site were the brew itself functioned as a core relational object of interest. The glass and the setting both taste rather different from what you are used to, and this has sparked many good conversations about the northern areas, the use of natural resources, dying traditions and thoughts about the future.
In our must recent works, Intertidal Shelter I-III we also investigated how old norse brewing technology and principals from marine cyber culture can be used to develope small scale seaweed farms for the household
