Castells introduces the practical


The second session of Open Systems has been driven by the artist Erick Beltrán, work with the Collection and Peter Castles degree in Chemical Sciences specializing in Organic UB and project manager Bullipèdia that El Bulli Foundation conducted jointly with the UB.
"This is an experiment that Peter and I do. Before the invitation Open Systems we wondered what we have in common, and we discovered that we both want to know How is knowledge. "
"How can we say that something is what it is?" In the specialized knowledge modular kitchen designs systems increasingly insists on the fact that what determines modular kitchen designs this "knowledge" as is access to things. So the question arises of how we perceive the world through what sensations. The example chosen Erick Beltrán is our perception of color:
"The premise is that the color does not exist. The world, the universe, they have colors. So, two questions arise before this dish "yellow" that is on the table. Why is yellow? And, someone else will be the same yellow I? ... "
Of these questions, through our perception of color in general modular kitchen designs ... as others arise: How do I see? What are the systems to reach a common modular kitchen designs understanding? We can perceive perceived as another person.
Then Erick Beltrán speaks of the visible spectrum - we determined that one or other of colors- and "effect Land", which, after a series of experiments with slides and color filters and illustrates the ease with which the brain is "tricked" to perceive colors. modular kitchen designs Because the colors you see depend in part on the mutual relations of one context and we expect to see the colors.
Castells introduces the practical "Erick said that the colors exist in our brain to a number of factors, also related to biology, brain structure modular kitchen designs ... On the basis of what we both commented that we are very interested the subject of color, we have three groups of these tables that are distributed differently in different where we distributed food ingredients ... Also we have different colors. "
With the kitchen which colors play? It's time to discover modular kitchen designs the "tone" ... we culinary vision ... the sense of taste. "Today science tells us five basic tastes," explains Castells. "The color, the basic tastes" continues "are a reflection of perception, which may be different depending on who sees the content." Erick Beltrán gives us the example of pink, we build placing it between the red and white in the visible spectrum.
Then Peter Castells invites modular kitchen designs us to experiment. The tables are different ingredients that we will use later to make a delicious chocolate cake. But we do not move! First, Pere Castells invites modular kitchen designs us to taste very special. Following your instructions, we have different infusions; do not know which of these containers hide basic tastes white, with white bags also found in the tables.
Put small containers in the microwave, and coffee with a spoon ... start again! What is strange to hear the sweet, bitter ... not assign them to any color or any food. Pere Castells invites us to guess tastes. "The basic tastes" explains Peter Castles "have only one product, the duplication of a molecule. It is a single compound. Even the water we drink is pure. In the kitchen there are very few pure elements. But in the case of the five basic tastes is a pure substance ... "One by one the tasting ... we are surprised, bewildered, funny and above all very, very curious:
Sweet. modular kitchen designs "Traditionally it gets much sugar and sweet notes of sucrose, which is the pattern with which we compare all sweeteners. Often tastes associated sugars. But there are sweets that have no sugar, for this example. Stevia is the esteviosi of stevioside, which has ten sweeteners. Here are a mixture of two molecules, although we spoke of. If someone very thin line, you will notice a little taste of licorice, stevia own. Sugar is sweet enough.
Salat. "Sodium chloride, a pure substance. And the pattern of tastes salty. There are also components that give tastes salty, basically potassium chloride. But this pattern is, and the most used as salty taste in the kitchen. Like all basic tastes, is a savory flavor enhancer, like the taste of a cake up and we put sugar ... "
Umami "taste umami, which are not used p
