ANIMATION

Sam Bompas and Harry Parr started out as jelly purveyors, eventually building a production studio for experimenting and creating food-based installations.

The Alcoholic Architecture cloud is composed of fine spirits and mixers at a ratio of one to three and made using powerful humidifiers to super-saturate the air. Alcohol enters the bloodstream through the body’s mucus membranes: primarily the lungs but also the eyeballs. By "breathing" the cocktail, alcohol bypasses the liver, allowing guests to consume 40 percent less to feel the same effect, plus the high humidity level enhances the flavor.

Before entering, guests are given special protective suits.

Bompas & Parr worked with respiratory scientists and chemists to calculate the amount of time guests can remain in the cloud safely. Each visitor is limited to one hour per day, which is the equivalent of one regular drink.

In addition to the cloud, visitors can also order cocktails inspired by spirits and beers created by monks including Chartreuse, Benedictine, Trappist beer, and Buckfast—a fortified wine.

The monastic-inspired libations pay homage to the bar's venue: the site of a former monastery and located across the road from Southwark Cathedral. For those who abstain from alcohol, there are "Celibate" cocktails that emulate the taste of some of the spirits.

Inspired by the High Line, CetraRuddy’s geometric picnic basket won the highest bid at the fund-raiser. The spread featured lush greens and blues to mimic the look and feel of the elevated park in New York.

Michael Breach's latte art inspires guests to snap photos and share them on social media networks.

Able to work from photos, Breach can design faces, logos, or even pets in foam. As for the most unusual designs he's created, Breach said that he rendered a "very odd assortment of objects" in foam for a skit with Amy Schumer and Comedy Central. Each design typically takes around five minutes.
