WTFood
A lens to explore systemic socioeconomic glitches in the food system and discover ways to take action
From curiosity to action. Take a fruit or vegetable, open the camera, and watch it morph into a glitch of the food system. WTFood reveals hidden socioeconomic impacts and connects you to local communities and policies that are fixing these issues.
Reality Filter & Perspective Map
WTFood transforms photos of fruits and vegetables into visual narratives that reveal hidden aspects of the food system. WTFood creates morphing videos displaying systemic issues from different stakeholder perspectives - from permaculture growers to supermarket managers. For each generated story the tool looks for local resources, communities, and policies where users can take action.
Technical Implementation
Built in static html / js with ComfyUI and Stable Diffusion for image generation, the system uses ControlNet TILE models for visual consistency and FILM interpolation for smooth morphing transitions. Web research is handled by Tavily Langchain integration. The interactive map uses CLIP text-image embedding and content sorting and community-driven exploration of food system narratives.
