script-fusión

script-fusión is a living archive of the culinary practices of the migrant communities of Balvanera (Buenos Aires), materialized as an interactive table: each node represents one of the neighborhood's communities, and visitors can print fragments of the archive —recipes, knowledge, memories— on a thermal printer. A collective work with Iris Saladino and Isis Vargas; final project for the Master's in Electronic Arts (UNTREF).

The project's website was built in Next.js—frontend and backend—and connected via Bluetooth to the printer. The backend acts as a parent process and controls a submodule that replicates, through reverse engineering, the printer's original app. We added features such as printing without preserving aspect ratio (for long tickets like the recipes) and disabling sleep mode (to keep the printer running during the exhibition).

The project was exhibited at Casa Belgrado during the show La pulsión de lo errático.
