It's a collaboration project with an architect Makoto Yokomizo . In a semi-darkness you would explore the space with the sense of smell, hearing, and touch.
Question are: how do we perceive the mixture of smells? How do they mingle in the space? What could be the "3 principle smells"? And how to draw gradations? How could I give the visitors motivation to explore by smell?
Smell mixes in the space, that's the feit. But I think it's possible to draw subtle gradations, from the experience of OLFACTOSCAPE.
The system of air flow is custom made. With anerometer I can detect some air flow.
