An olfactory-visual synthesizer that allows the viewer to see a scent based on their perception
The project was created with the support of ArtTech.MISIS
The project offers viewers an opportunity to expand their experience in recognizing their emotions and to become co-creators of a synesthesia of scent and visuals. A fog screen is used to visualize the fragrance. The vapor is ephemeral, fluid, and constantly changing; it will dissipate and leave behind only a memory, much like the scent itself.

The Viewer's Experience:
The viewer becomes an alchemist: creating a fragrance, listening to its "temperature," lightness, and humidity, and then watching a visual image—the color and shape of their own olfactory sensation—be born within the swirling fog.

Just as ancient priests used scents to communicate with gods and touch the unknown and the sublime, the modern viewer embarks on a journey toward themselves, utilizing technology to explore their feelings and their synesthesia.
