Food and Privacy
“When you invent the ship, you also invent the shipwreck; when you invent the plane you also invent the plane crash; and when you invent electricity, you invent electrocution … Every technology carries its own negativity, which is invented at the same time as technical progress.”
- Paul Virilio
“We're seeing that people don't have a lot of control over whether they share this information with their network.”

Food + Privacy
FitAF explores the medium of Snapchat AR filters in relation to our personal food consumption.
It questions the boundaries of privacy in a society that willingly overshares information and the possible impact of social media by introducing cameras and social media into the intimate spaces of the dinner table and our bodies. As a working Snapchat filter, FitAF circulates in social media and invites users to ask if it is possible to choose privacy.
