Love the easy access to live talks. Saves the back. I listened to the speakers at the Art and Olfactory event and snapped pictures off the screen. Totally inspired by Jacquelyn Ford Morie's talk about a scent collar used in VR experiences. Can't believe their patents haven't created a big market for these, but then again so many smells, how to package them all. Obviously hard to package natural smells, but that's where the synthetic, molecule derived smell science can really help. The future of smell vacations is in the horizon. Then there was Dr. Avery Gilbert who seemed to have a lot of experience and appreciation for the sensory craft art movement in Colorado. He spoke about weed, microbrews, crap, and body odor. Who wouldn't love a talk on that. Understated funny interesting perspective.
Also, Chandler Burr, an in your face intense speaker, explained smells from an art history approach. He said things like it's "rough, like a fist in the face" and freely sprinkled the word "fuck" here and there in his talk.. It was great and unexpected. Definitely a contrast to the sweet talking British woman Lizzie Ostrom who talked about what I think was wearing perfume and pulling, then the bizarre hijinks of perfume in the early 1900's of scented snow dropped from a plane, perfume bank checks, and scented bubble machines. SO GLAD I watched these talks - SCIENCE, ART, TECHNOLOGY and personalities. Comments are closed.
