Episode Nine -- Playing with our food

Wayne MacPhail — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:59:08 +0000

In this episode, we really get to play with our food. What does MakerCulture have to do with food and how do chefs, artists, farmers and everyday people

interact with their own food? We try to pin point why so many makers have decided to turn to self-reliance and creativity when it comes to their food, rather

than just eating it.

Feature Interviews:

David Berg, artist participant of the Medium: Coffee, Latte Art for Non-Latte Artists event

Meredith Alex, fashion designer who uses food

Chef Don Kumarasinghe, a chef and Olympian fruit carver

John Sinopoli, executive chef at Toronto's "Table 17"

Episode One - Meet Your Makers

Wayne MacPhail — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:34:47 +0000

Maker Culture? It's people taking things -- food, entertainment, technology, politics, and even science -- into their own hands. That's a simple definition and it's exactly where 45 Canadian journalism students began their journey in early September. That's when Wayne MacPhail, the instructor of the online journalism courses at both Ryerson University in Toronto and the University of Western Ontario on London, introduced us, his students, to the idea of Maker Culture. We discovered that a lot lies beneath that simple definition. This first episode explains Maker Culture and gives you a taste of episodes to come.
