This week, the #Cryocultures team met in Darmstadt to research the infrastructures of freshness. After visiting the Perishable Center at Frankfurt Airport—a key hub for delivering fresh and time-sensitive goods across Europe—we spent three days studying the artificial cryosphere. A highlight was Nicola Twilley's lecture in an old ice cellar, where the "Frostbite" author shared fascinating insights into her research on artificial cold on which modern life so much depends.
