Cultura is a kitchen-based system centered around an intelligent home assistant that encourages users to engage in a new kind of ritual through fermentation. By highlighting the essential role of microbial interactions in both bodily and societal well-being, Cultura fosters awareness of our connection to the microbial world. The assistant guides users in creating and sharing fermentation practices, cultivating a sense of community and shared experience that bridges the micro and macro scales of life.
