Amsterdam arts centre Mediamatic has set up a dining experience where guests sit in their own greenhouse and hosts wear face shields. The glasshouses by the side of the canal each house a pair of diners, who have to be from the same household, sitting across from each other over a table covered in white cloth. The project's name, Serres Séparées, is a play on the French phrase chambre séparée for private dining areas. The dining pods are at once separate and intimate, and visible and public. Mediamatic hopes that the model could lead the way for other restaurants and cafes looking for safer ways to run their businesses during the coronavirus pandemic.
Mediamatic was founded in Amsterdam in 1983, and organises talks, events and projects on nature, science, biotech and art from its canalside location. The arts centre already has a large greenhouse for its aquaponics setup, and had a set of smaller glasshouses on hand. |
