THE NOSELESS SOCIETY
Olfactory archive + immersive listening experience.
Speculative olfactory installation, 2024
Design Exhibition developed as PART 2 (making semester) of Master Industrial Design Graduation Project at The Royal Academy of Art, The Hague.
The Noseless Society: (Re)Awakening the Primitive Sense is a speculative “smellable” installation that, as a corrective treatment, aims at re-establishing the endangered, primitive nature of desensitised individuals, members of a smell-emotion-impaired society.
To limit the gradual damage of pollution-induced mass smell blindness, participants are invited to experience their bodies, senses, and emotions through an olfactory journey that takes place in an imaginary future sensorial archive.
Plaster moulds carefully preserve treasured samples of “ancient”, fragrant, pheromonal materials.
