IDAT206-Slowness

Sounds like something from Indiana Jones unfortunately it isn’t. Anyhow the ark of taste is

“The Ark of Taste aims to rediscover, catalog, describe and publicize forgotten flavors. It is a metaphorical recipient of excellent gastronomic products that are threatened by industrial standardization, hygiene laws, the regulations of large-scale distribution and environmental damage.”

Taken from the slowfood website. The current online front end (http://www.slowfoodfoundation.com/eng/arca/dettaglio.lasso?cod=746&prs=0)of this ark of taste is not exactly that interesting or entertaining however I aim to change this by utilizing flash to emphasize the flavors, colours and attributes of the food. Hopefully I can build on this idea to create an ark of taste that will engage the user in such a way that they themselves take longer to savour the flavour.
