While not a propositional model for a viable large scale operation, the project maintains a functioning alternate freight system for groceries and other goods to travel internationally. Feral Trade supplies a drifting network of individuals (friends, colleagues, other artists, their family members and social contacts) and organisations (including former and prospective employers, sponsors, hosts and organisational peers). The challenge of supplying groceries to the art world in particular, has led to an interest in the Public Diet of cultural organisations: | While not a propositional model for a viable large scale operation, the project maintains a functioning alternate freight system for groceries and other goods to travel internationally.

In 2005, Berlin artist Natascha Sadr-Haghighian and I imported 25 electric ricecookers to UK and Germany from their factory source in Iran, and distributed them to a network of subscribers.

The import was designed to enlarge the options for basic cooked foods where self-catering is otherwise unavailable. | In 2005, Berlin artist Natascha Sadr-Haghighian and I imported 25 electric ricecookers to UK and Germany from their factory source in Iran, and distributed them to a network of subscribers.

Ricecookers can provide basic portable nutrition in a range of territories. For hospitality and sustenance you just add water, rice and electricity.

To cook espresso just remove the inner pot and place espresso pot directly in the heating element. | Ricecookers can provide basic portable nutrition in a range of territories.

The above techniques for alternate emergency provisioning have been rehearsed from position of luxury (IE. choice), although as training they could be prescient. The collapse of the Bristol flagship store of Fresh and Wild in September 2008 - a luxury foods supermarket in Bristol owned by the US giant Wholefoods, whose core values include creating wealth through profits & growth - signals a singular tremor in the fine food market. | The aesthetics of emergency and survival have more normally been monopolised by other interests: the military, outdoor adventure catalogues, NASA, or memories of WWII (hoarding flour, eggs, lard etc).
