Scent-Inspired Art Exhibition Opening (SF)

Event Details

​​Join us for the exhibition opening of The Olfactory Thing Incubator, a four-week residency bringing together artists, designers + creative technologists exploring scent and smell in all it’s forms. ​This exhibition marks the culmination of the residency, featuring original works developed using FLORA.

​​Expect a series of experimental works — sculptures, installations, and strange interfaces, that make the invisible visible. Each resident project explored olfactory experience in a distinct way: monitoring neighborhood health through scent, embodying scent through sound, archiving scent, uncovering natural geometric scent patterns, and venturing into surrealist scent.
