Semesterprojekt Komplexes Gestalten, Wintersemester 2018/19, Prof. Christian Zöllner, Amelie Goldfuß, ab 3. Studienjahr BA, ab 1. Studienjahr MA

We dealt with olfactory stimuli and their relation with physical and visual design. Together we studied the creation of scents, discovered players and works of the ol­factory design scene on excursions and de­veloped our own positions in the field. In sessions and workshops, we discovered methods to creatively and aesthetically approach intangible and elusive sensuali­ties.
Olfactory artist Klara Ravat visited us for a couple of days in Halle where she taught us a lot about smell.
After the kick­-of workshop we took a trip to Amster­dam where we were so lucky as to attend two major events in the olfactory universe in two days.
In a workshop called Scen­tify, the students were asked to translate or accompany films, music or other time­ based media into or with an olfactory ex­perience.
