ECHOES OF TASTE

Charoen Krung

Charoen Krung

THE PROJECT

Charoenkrung Road in Bangkok is treated as a plate holding layers of culture, memory, and everyday life. Through synesthesia, food is translated beyond taste into colour, shape, sound, and movement. An AR layer lets virtual street artworks travel from Bangkok to New York, turning the menu into a space where one place can evoke another.

THE DISH

A special prefix menu built around Thai-Chinese comfort dishes, including steamed chive dumplings, beef braised in aromatic herbs, and Hainanese-style chicken rice.

EXPERIENCE

VIRTUAL GALLERY

A DIGITAL SYNESTHESIA ART EXPERIENCE
