“It’s an unusual Friday night at Grinder, a small
coffee shop in Toronto. There’s an alien in someone’s cup, hearts
in another and someone else sees their face in their mug.“The cause of this madness is an event we created called
“MEDIUM: Coffee — Live Latte Art for Non-Latte Artists.” We wanted
to see what ordinary artists would do if we let them play with
their food. “It was different,” says Abra Dolman, a participating
artist. “I can’t say I’ve ever used coffee, espresso, or milk as a
medium before.”“The winner in the final round, Stefan Berg, used syrup to draw
a portrait of one of the judges, glasses and all. However, the
newly-indoctrinated coffee artists aren’t the only ones using food
in unique ways. Whether for consumption, beauty, art, or hacking
purposes, Maker Culture is meeting food everywhere.”
