Food Porn
Food Porn is an interactive visual experiment exploring the intersection of sensory pleasure, using food and sound as metaphors for intimacy. The project is designed as a keyboard-driven experience, where each key triggers a corresponding animation and sound, creating a dynamic and progressive sequence. Through this structure, the piece examines the way visual and auditory cues can evoke deeper associations, inviting viewers to engage with the content both playfully and conceptually.

This project was built using TouchDesigner to create an interactive audiovisual experience that explores the cultural and linguistic parallels between food and sex. By associating specific foods with their common sexual innuendos, the piece guides participants through a structured sequence of increasing intimacy and arousal. Each keyboard input triggers a corresponding animation and sound, reinforcing the sensual nature of consumption and desire. The progression unfolds in five distinct stages, each representing a phase of sexual escalation. Early sections use playful and subtle references, focusing primarily on food's textures and movements. As the sequence advances, the metaphors become more overt, with animated depictions mimicking acts of physical intimacy. By the final stage, food symbolism is largely abandoned in favor of explicit motion and sound, completing the transformation from suggestive innuendo to direct representation. The interactive format places the viewer in control of the experience, allowing them to engage with the material at their own pace. This direct participation enhances the thematic connections between physical indulgence and sensory pleasure, using both visual and auditory elements to heighten the impact of the work.

The Process
Since the original interactive elements of the TouchDesigner project cannot be replicated here, I have instead created a video that showcases the animations and the progression of escalation. This video serves as a guided experience, presenting each section in sequence with a breakdown of the visuals, sounds, and their significance to the overall themes. By providing context for each stage, the video conveys the intended connections between food, sensuality, and language, offering insight into how these elements build upon one another to create the full conceptual experience.
