Dear Crumbsters
First I apologise for any cross posting.
But I wanted to email through Art Gene’s next Digital U online project See you at 1 (http://www.art-gene.co.uk/digital/jennifer-katanyoutanant-see-you-at-1/) by Jennifer Katanyoutanant. For the project presentation artists Katanyoutanant will conduct a live mukbang session online February 23rd, Sunday, at 1pm GMT and invites all to join her at the dinner table to share a meal.*
Jennifer will be live on YouTube from her profile: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiegHxHx3wPA1oU246g9OXQ/live
Additionally you can head over to Art Gene’s Facebook page where we will be posting up the link for live viewing:

Mukbang, similar to concepts from the region such as a hikikomori, or teen keitai culture and the telecocoon; all derive from a culture in the embrace of digital technology, yet with a growing sense of isolationism due to the same screen based devices. In this case mukbang, in the simplest terms, is about regaining a communal feel and a sense of togetherness through eating a meal with another - all of which is mediated through a screen.
For further information on mukbang please see the wiki.
We hope to see you at 1!
*Artist Jennifer Katanyoutanant plans to record her shared mukbang session with audiences. This material will be used as artistic and documentation material for the Digital U online exhibition “See you at 1”. Please note, if you wish to remain anonymous please reframe from engaging in the live chat during the session.
