About.
How far are you willing to go to continue eating meat in the future? Isn't undigested food also a form of food waste? And what if we switched to a radical new food system based on edible microbial biomass?
Chloé Rutzerveld (1992, The Netherlands) is a Dutch artist and designer creating sculptural works and interactive installations at the intersection of art, science and technology. Inspired by biology, natural history and emerging technologies, she transforms scientific possibilities into speculative futures that invite curiosity, wonder and critical reflection on our relationship with the living world.
After graduating Cum Laude from Industrial Design at Eindhoven University of Technology in 2014, Chloé started her Food Design studio in the Netherlands. Besides self-initiated projects, she works as a curator, guest teacher, consultant and inspirational speaker.
In 2018, Chloé published her first book, Food Futures - How Design and Technology can Reshape our Food System. In 2019, she curated the first adult exhibition "Food of Tomorrow" for science museum NEMO in Amsterdam. Between 2020 and 2022, Chloé was curator of the Embassy of Food.

“Chloé is a stunningly unique thinker. She has the uncanny ability to look at the world around her and extract surprising insights that deeply challenge the status quo. She uses her storytelling abilities to weave a compelling narrative around possible food futures. She then uses her artistry to bring these potential futures to life in exhibitions, workshops and installations that provoke audiences to see the world through a completely new vantage point. ”
“Chloé’s work is a provocative way to hold a mirror up to society. Playful and cheeky. The jury praises the combination of art, sustainability and food. ”
