Tiger Penis Project
By: Kuang-Yi Ku

There is a huge demand for wild animal parts in traditional Chinese medicine, which forms a real threat to conservation. Yet, it is a shame to write off thousands of years of medical practice, believes Kuang-Yi Ku. Instead of killing wild animals, KuangYi proposes to bridge the conflict between cultural heritage and the environment.

Atoma (2018)
By: Alexandra Genis

Atoma are synthetic spices. Every flavour, be it natural or artificial, is a combination of molecules. Industry has been using such flavouring molecules for decades to make consumers addicted to food products. That circumstance has contributed to public disapproval of artificiality in food. However, flavouring all products naturally is not a sustainable solution. Atoma aims at creating an informed, emancipated consumer by making flavouring science accessible and acceptable.
