MAD Arts is partnering with Dine Out Lauderdale, Greater Fort Lauderdale’s premier annual culinary celebration, to host Unseen Work. This one-of-a-kind dining experience transforms the act of eating into an immersive exploration of labor, authorship, and care. Conceived by artist Jaime Reyes in collaboration with the acclaimed Chef Sam Diaz, this installation invites guests to gather around a glowing, digitally illuminated table, five 75-inch screens seamlessly joined to form a single storytelling surface.
As you enjoy a multi-course dinner, text-based stories unfold slowly across the table, revealing the hidden layers of the kitchen: quiet revisions, early ingredient decisions, unspoken rituals, and intuitive moments that shape each dish. This is not a spectacle, but a meditation on process.
A custom LED mesh lamp above the table mirrors the pace and emotion of the meal, shifting subtly with each course. Ambient sound textures, built from real kitchen sounds, create an atmosphere of calm intensity, rooting guests in the presence of the work behind the food.
RSVP is required for this limited capacity engagement.
Ticket: $195 – Dinner, Drinks + Same-Day Museum Access
