Please double-check your notes for correlations! :)
I will print copies of the Manifesto for use...

The New Manifesto of Futurist Food

Our humanity is fatigued, sluggish, obese and pathetic because of obsolete provender. We, Marinetti’s Antipasti, will pave the way for a new generation of Futurist cooks, by becoming commodious, accelerated, and robust:
SUPERHUMANS Through Futurist Food!

Our food will cater for all the senses:
• Sight: Our food will look magnificent, forged into colorful, bold, and wholesome sculptures!
• Taste: We will create previously inconceivable flavour combinations!
• Smell: Our meals will be served with mighty perfumes!
• Hearing: We will gorge our ears upon flavour-enhancing sounds and music whenever we feast!
• Touch: We will combine many textures in our cuisine, both comestible and unpalatable!

We will throw off the shackles of convention! (pause) We will scorn Pasta, Bread and Potatoes. Our cuisine will contain Amphetamines and Caffeine so that we will always be responsive and functioning towards our true potential as SUPERHUMANS!

You weak, organic imbeciles will marvel at our power - you will finally see the true strength of Futurism! Not being weighed down by ponderous, mundane food! - There will no longer be this cataclysmic bygone that you live in; you will see the might, the tenacity, the vitality that we embody! - You can live like us!

This is where you are; this is what you are like.
Discover your self-realization, feel your shameful endeavors,
See now, your lethargic negligence.

New structure

Ok, I can't read my weird short hand writing atm as my eyes are all puffy and blurry, my faultt for not listening to the doctors and going running today... woops
Anyways i am going to try and write down what i can see/remember of the strcture...

• Starting with Marinetti's Antipasti manifesto music with the edible art playing
• I then think we are giving out food but i can't hink we changed it... again cannot read...
• Then the fast food section of us and the recording
• Then the sound potryy
• Then us eating while the "food prep" video is playing- eating really disgustingly people!!!
• Then Tim stands up carries on eating while we go through the body. with Vid playing of the throat thing... then us laying on floor... for ...
• the sick picture
• We then act all eww yuck gross, start having ago at the audience saying fatty slow people ect etc etc etc
• carring on doing that till we slow rrrrriiiiggghhhhttttttt ddddddddddddooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I think taht was most of it.... i think it would last around 7-10 minutes judging from what we have done so far...

I think our next job is to start with the transitions...

The New Manifesto of Futurist Food

Hey guys,

Here is what I have written so far for the New Manifesto of Futurist Food! Any contributions would be much appreciated. ASAP please!

Humanity is weak, slow and pathetic because of food. We, Marinetti’s Antipasti, will pave the way for a new generation of Futurist cooks by becoming better, faster, and stronger: SUPERHUMANS through Futurist food!

Our food will cater for all the senses:
• Taste: we will create previously unheard-of flavour combinations!
• Smell: our meals will be served with perfumes!
• Hearing: we will listen to flavour-enhancing sounds and music whenever we eat!
• Sight: our food will look magnificent, made into colourful and bold edible sculptures!
• Touch: we will combine many textures in our cuisine, both edible and not!

We will throw off the shackles of tradition! We will scorn pasta, bread and potatoes. Our food will contain amphetamines and caffeine so that we will always be responsive and working to our true potential as SUPERHUMANS!

update

Hey guys!
After seeing everyone else's progress i feel really positive and motivated to get ours moving even further forward.
I think we have started great, but this week we really need to push ourselves even more than ever!!
I think it is good if we each have our own responsiblites for example:

Tim the inside the body video...
Luxy the sound poetry..
Sam cook book/icing sculpture... etc etc etc etc (can't think of stuff now! lol)

that way we'll get even more done and know everyone has contributed something to the performance...

Also had a thought this weekend about the sculptured meats... i thought we could give it a modern day twist by using the reformed ham, you know the stuff that comes in shapes of teddy's and dinosaurs etc etc etc.. what do ya guys think... we could lay it out on our "display table"

I was also wondering weather we should do another sound poetry to play while they are eating like food noises, as we'll have the recorded one playing while WE are eating, i thought we could perform something ourselves LIVE again, that way we have two sound poetry's and two lots of recorded sound to go with the three vids and the live performances...

AGAIN ALSO... costume side of things, i think we should keep it very simple, and CHEAP maybe our interpretation of a futurist cook of today...
