georgia tech smellwalk and speculative fragrance

smellwalk along the central part of the georgia tech campus, atlanta. the meeting consisted of the Intro about a sense of smell, smellwalk, and meeting with the artist iman person. the route was built at the most variegated points of the central part of the campus, connecting into a popular alley. the route was checked in advance, the aromatic background was studied and 5 scent formulas were compiled corresponding to each location. in the final walk, participants found a common scent of the georgia tech campus. 

the group received notebooks for records and a location map. first, the group members sniffed the actual location and made notes about the nature of the smells. then they sniffed the sticker, which was imbued with a composition built on the motives of this place. the description of each location contained a list of the actual components in the formula. 

iman person talked about the synthetic landscape in her art practices.
