The Smell Lab is a monthly meeting space open for everybody who is interested in experimenting around the sense of smell. This night will showcase the work that has been going on in the lab so far:

Collected Smells is the first installation produced by the Smell Lab, a group of people researching the sensation and science of smell. The work consists of several smells gathered during the Smell Lab’s meetings and are derived from various locations in Berlin-Neukölln. The installation is made up of cloth sheets imbued with scents from our surroundings – the water, the soil, smoke and leaves. The work is the culmination of the lab’s explorations and is the first in a series of future projects.

You can read more about the preparation for this installation in this recent blog about the Smell Lab on DailySecret: What does Kottbusser Tor smell like? by Nika Mavrody.

This event is part of the transmediale/CTM Vorspiel 2016 festival
