How long can a faint fragrance last? How long does it take for an aromatic molecule to disappear? When an aromatic molecule is released into the air, it absorbs moisture like crazy and eventually hides itself in the air forever. This is the life story of an aromatic molecule, and a synesthetic experience for the audience.
The dancer’s movement inspired by the scent was projected onto an avatar in the screen behind, with particles effects whose color was being influenced by the brain wave signal from one audience. The sceneries were generated real-time by the descriptions of the scent by the audience using AI tool called Blockade labs.
