An experimental research organization focusing on the [representation of data through culinary means](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gastronomy-open-ecosystem), Data Cuisine recently put together a "workshop in Barcelona to develop a menu of edible infographics that visually represent Spain’s demographic data," writes Psfk. A four day event, Data Cuisine posed these questions, "How does a tortilla taste whose recipe is based on well-being data in Spain? Would you rather like a cake based on the science funding 2005 or in 2013? Can you imagine how a fish dish can represent the emigrants from Spain to countries across the world?" With this in mind, edible infographics are much more engaging and creative. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Edible Infographics:** Data Cuisine is exploring the concept of edible infographics, merging data representation and culinary arts. - **Data-driven Menu:** The workshop in Barcelona showcases a menu of edible infographics that visually represent Spain's demographic data. - **Engaging Data Visualization:** Edible infographics offer a more engaging and creative way to represent data. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage industry can explore the opportunity of creating data-driven menu items that visually represent information. - **Data Visualization:** Data visualization industry can tap into the concept of edible infographics to create engaging ways of representing information. - **Experimental Research:** Experimental research organizations can explore the intersection of data representation and culinary arts to create unique and immersive experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Edible QR Codes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interiqr.md) - [Creative Text-to-Infographic Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infographic-tools.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Edible 3D-Printed Insects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printed-edible-insects.md) - [Fruit Waste Ink Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-waste-ink.md) - [Multisensorial Dining Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feeladelphia-by-philadelphia.md) - [Sweet Multi-Sensory Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brixjourney.md) - [Sensorial Cocktail Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texture-is-everything.md) - [Multi-Media Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-3d-journey-through-time.md)
