Falling Walls Breakthrough of the Year

We’re thrilled to share that DataWagashi has been named the Falling Walls Art & Science Breakthrough of the Year 2024.

‍

‍

This recognition was celebrated in Berlin at the Falling Walls Science Summit, where DataWagashi was presented as part of the program, and served to 3,000+ attendees across the event.

DataWagashi is our way of making data feel edible, tangible, and memorable: a multisensory wagashi experience that bridges craft, culture, and computation. Being recognized by Falling Walls, an international stage for breakthrough ideas, reinforces our belief that art and science don’t just collaborate… they can co-create new ways of understanding the world.

Thank you to the Falling Walls community, collaborators, and everyone who tasted, shared, and sparked conversations with us in Berlin. More experiments (and more sweets) are on the way.
