AstroFeast
The possible future of yeast as a space supplement
AstroFeast proposes yeast-based nutritional dried sheets for long-term space travelers. It enhances the space dining experience physically and psychologically, using containers inspired by nature that allow the living yeast food to evolve in real-time. The sheets require only water and create no food waste, and the container is designed to be reusable plastic, contributing to a waste-free system.

Joanna Cheng
Joanna Cheng is an artist and designer working across speculative design, product design, biodesign, and visual arts to explore critical issues in ecology, biology, medicine, environment, and the future.
Her practice combines interdisciplinary research with narrative-driven design, creating speculative worldviews through objects and interactive experiences that question dominant narratives and envision alternative possibilities.
Through speculative and critical visual approaches, Joanna’s work serves as a medium for discussion, challenging definitions, and sparking imagination.
