Carla Diana, Emilie Baltz & Arone Dyer Let You to Have Your Ice Cream and Lickestrate It, Too – ‘Taste Test’ in NYC Tomorrow, February 12
Posted in: Uncategorized
As if we already didn’t have enough reasons to indulge in a bit of ice cream, a trio of designers/musicians have turned the crowd-pleasing treat into a musical performance. Carla Diana—smart object designer and author of the whimsical MakerBot book we reviewed and loved so much—has teamed up with food designer Emilie Baltz and musician Arone Dyer of Buke&Gase to create LICKESTRA, a sort of edible ensemble based on the consumption of conductive ice cream. Diana explains:
LICKESTRA plays with the experience from tongue to taste by presenting a series of conductive ice creams that trigger various baselines and tones when licked. Riffing on the “ice cream stand,” guests are invited to stand inside a classic white pedestal and lick the ice cream that is presented to them. The result is a “4-piece band” that operates only by the licking of each guest.
