Emobrew
5 digital scans / 2022
The project Emobrew aims to help communicating complex emotions in our digital world of abbreviated language by using a traditional Kombucha SCOBY, a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, topromote the brain-gut axis. Talking about our emotions and communicating them to others is crucial to our mental health but sometimes overwhelming. While emojis have been invented to simplify digital communication but their shortness also adds to their potential of misunderstandings.
Emobrew is set up as an open experiment: bits and pieces of commonly misinterpreted emojis are implemented into the SCOBY which is then left floating in a sugary nutrient solution and exposed to oxygen. Given the right temperature and some time the SCOBY breaks down the sugars in the nutrient solution and transforms them into a healthy gut healing brew. During the fermentation process the SCOBY grows and adds another layer of complexity to the depicted emoji which can consequently be used to brew another ferment.
