Matthew Fuller interviews 'Ice cream for Everyone'Free Ice Cream and the ingredients of pleasure
Like ice cream? Like free software? Feel the need for some kind of combination? http://www.bak.spc.org/ice is the web-site for you. Mark Greco and Simon Pope are the founders of this project to liberate 'the people's ice-cream'. Over the past few months, they and their ice cream maker have appeared at a number of events in London and Cardiff to dish out hundreds of coppettas of cow-milk, cornflour, vanilla and sugar. Cooked in varying proportions these are the basic ingredients of the tongue-pleaser. Check out the ingredients on a tub of corporate dairy-glue and you'll find a different story. They're not just about making popsicles rootsical though. On the web site you'll find evidence that the project of getting back to the base matter of ice cream is linked straight away into social histories and into possibilities for not only networking our cheap creamy pleasures but of finding ways that the cultures of food and of technology can learn from each other.
