Kakophonie and Chinese Fondue was an open dinner event for the Athenian Triple-I network and anybody interested in exploring sustainable practices and the significance of interdisciplinary environments in our contemporary social and economic landscape.

Triple-I (International Interdisciplinary Institute) is a network that is forging collaborations and new projects in a bottom up manner among researchers and creative professionals from diverse disciplinary backgrounds.

Being interdisciplinary means much more than juggling several things at the same time. In order to activate interdisciplinary thoughts we mostly need to get distracted from focusing on one single process of doing things. 

We invited persons from diverse backgrounds to eat, play our piano, and look at their own practice from a different point of view. However, this was not a simple dinner event. Our piano was out of tune and the food had to be cooked on site, slowly, bite by bite, using a pot for Chinese Fondue.

Our objective was to think of sustainable practices and dissonance in the city as a way to incite and provoke interdisciplinary thoughts, or the other way around, to think of interdisciplinary environments as necessary sources for sustainable practices.
