Food Court is a philosophical diary of eating out. In this short essay, traditional and industrial dishes serve as a starting point for exploring the tension between authenticity and fast food — from Big Macs, pizzas and ramen to Starbucks, croissants and artisanal ice cream.
Its author — an engineer by training and a digital artist — retraces his culinary wanderings in Paris and beyond, revisiting the industrial flavors of his childhood and his experience working in digital food platforms. Through his stories, analyses, and 3D illustrations, he invites us to deconstruct the modern myths that fill our plates.
Food Court is food for thought for anyone interested in postmodern philosophy and the anthropology of food.

About the author
Christophe Bruchansky
4 books12 followersBelgian essayist and digital artist creating moving images, micro–art games, and virtual experiences.
My essays — published in AI & Society, Philosophy Now, and The Disconnect — explore the limits of self-determination in a world reshaped by technology.
My videos and installations stage the tension between fantasy and a messier off-screen reality: a superflat aesthetic disrupted by digital glitches.
My point-and-click games and virtual worlds function as heterotopias: contemplative spaces, in Foucault’s sense, that mirror and invert reality, reflecting on the gamification of life and the impossibility of winning it all.
