A9: Smell Notes – Marissa

For this assignment, I considered how smell is associated with memory. A commercial bakery near my home releases a very potent smell during late night and early morning baking. The smell is initially pleasant from a reasonable distance, but becomes overwhelming and unappealing when sensed at close proximity. The following map indicates my emotional response to the smell based on proximity, as well as personal memory-based collages that each stage of the smell-experience prompts.

A9_Smell Notes_Duncan

Ever since I moved to Vancouver the katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) has captured my imagination. Somehow when the leaves turn colour and fall they smell almost overwhelmingly sweet, like burnt sugar (as though there was a giant crème brûlée in the lane — a scaled-up version of the one my father makes with his butane kitchen torch). This animation represents the haptic and olfactory experience of walking under one of these trees in autumn, during which all other sensory inputs dissolve away.

Study of smell in a spaces.

The orange dash line shows the walking step in the bathroom. Most of the smell is from the hand soap and wet mopping cloths. The scents are located in the four corners. In the centre, there are not many smells.

Assignment 9

I went to Remi. Patisserie, one of popular patisserie in Vancouver at the weekend. I tried to record the most significant smell when I passed the store and the smell in the store. The store is very busy, so the street parking is also busy. When I stand on the outside, the vehicle exhaust was polluted arrow the street. One of guy after me has perfume, very fresh and like on the beach. The patisserie had very complex smells, but the most significant smell is bakery, butter, lemon and orange. The flat dessert from oven has very strong egg smell.
