About the Speakers
MICROPHONE MECHANICS is the country's premier beatbox group that pushes the limits of the art of beatboxing while combining skills, musicality, lyricism, vocal turntablism, energy, and a dose of humor in every performance. Engaging with a lot of shows and appearances throughout the country’s radio and television networks, including the largest events and gigs nationwide, they have worked with numerous artists, communities and groups.
JENNIFER KATANYOUTANANT is an artist, creative producer, and founder of Made in Asia, a new media consultancy and Creative Tech Lab that uses the power of storytelling and immersive media to better connect with and learn from local communities. She's interested in using social aspects of interactive art and technology to find common ground between seemingly different cultures. Most recently, Katanyoutanant collaborated with a small group of foragers, artists, hackers, and writers and conducted a series of interactive feasts in Thailand called DinnerCons. They cooked with local Thai community, foraged jungle ingredients, and exhibited the intricacies and unique flavor profiles of Thai cuisine through sculptures, design, and games. It is the group’s starting point for exploring how food crosses boundaries in unexpected ways.
