The Off-the-Plate Architect
We also sat down with the multidisciplinary artist Franc Aleu. We discussed his work with the Roca Brothers on their recent culinary opera el Somni and what he thinks the next developments in sensory dining experiences will be.
Aleu is an interesting person who works at the forefront of audio and visual technology. In this interview he explains what it was like to work with the owners of the world's best restaurant and why he thinks the el Somni project was so important.
We also looked ahead to the future as Aleu explained that he would like to create new projects that pushed diners even further down the rabbit hole.
