Abstract
Taking vending machine shops as a starting point, we want to facilitate an open discussion on (new) technologies of food provisioning. Thereby, we are specifically interested in the role and agency of (new) technologies and how they assemble places of food provisioning and consumption. The discussion will be guided by following overarching questions:
- How do (new) technologies of food provisioning produce new spatialities and change geographies of consumption?
- How are places of consumption assembled by (new) technologies of food provisioning?
- How is certain labor rendered (in)visible through (new) technologies of food provisioning?
- To what extent do such places renegotiate understandings of physical and emotional proximity between consumers and producers?
- How do (new) technologies of food provisioning challenge the sustainability of food systems?
- How do (new) technologies of food provisioning reconfigure the rural urban divide?
