Virtual Chef - Iran

http://caravansarai.stikipad.com/home/show/30.11.07+Virtual+Chef+-+Iran

The Virtual Chef project explores, through food, the international and diverse aspects of Istanbul. Here in the city Julie Upmeyer finds the ingredients for a meal, planned by Ashkan Sepahvand in Iran (Berlin). Her adventures and findings are posted on the Caravansarai wiki. On the night of the dinner, we receive real-time instructions on how to cook our meal. The entire process will be viewable in real time on CITV. It will also be available afterwards in the archive.

Never Been to Tehran

http://www.neverbeentotehran.com

Imagine a city that you’ve only seen in reproductions or perhaps have merely heard about. A place, like many others, that only exists for you through indirect sources—the nightly news, hearsay, literature, magazines, movies, and the Internet. Using these secondhand clues as firsthand research materials, invited worldwide participants—who have Never Been to Tehran—will take photographs (from their home base) of what they imagine Tehran to look like. This worldwide exhibition includes 29 international participants who will be contributing photographs, streamed to Caravansarai as a continuously evolving slideshow.
