Lauren Wolfe – Assignment 8

Walking in Pacific Spirit Park, with a daycare on one side and the forest on the other. Chirping birds, laughing children and my own movement in the wet earth were the most prominent sounds. Image on the left I tried to draw how the sounds felt. Image on the right I tried a 3d scan of the forest and then imposed a digital version of the sounds. Below is the audio file that corresponds with the experience.

Lauren Wolfe – Assignment 9

Walking the beach on Stanley Park I mapped the sites my dog, Felix, stopped and was sniffing. I imagined that he was able to smell what I could not. The green saturation spots are where I tried to represent what those smells might feel like for him. Below, while on site, I 3d scanned the places he was most interested in.

Smelling Stanley Park. Below are three images that represent not what I smelled while at the park but how I noticed the air felt and how smell hung in the air. On the beach the air smelled fresh and light and transient. As we moved deeper into the forest the air clung to the place, it felt less light and more heavy.

Assignment 9 – Roxane Gregoire

Class: We went to the sea wall to experiment with different natural smells. During this exploration I drew the object that was representative of what I was smelling around me. From the sea salt to the woody decomposition of a tree.

When I came back home I went on a walk to my usual spot: Jericho Beach. A similar smell occurred to me. So instead of drawing them again, I drew a map of the smell intensity and space during my walk.

Laureen Stokes – Assignment 11 – Taste

A palette of taste: Granville Island

 

The NEAT glass is a well researched and designed whisky snifter that maximizes the smell of whisky but not the ethanol smell.  It holds approximately 1.5oz to 2oz at the optimal fill line.  The revision incorporates a heavy glass bottom that maintains the surface area for smelling purposes and would hold roughly 0.75oz or even less.

Assignment 10

In class exercise: Documenting taste experience at Granville Island Market

At home: documenting taste experience of a raw yellow onion – a dissonant experience. Also comparable to the Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky.

Experience of eating a cooked yellow onion – a harmonious experience.

Drinking object – drafts

Lemonade drinking object – final design. The lemon scent diffuser makes it seem like there is always lemonade in the top, and the straw makes it seem like there is always lemonade in the bottom – a condition which would make it seem like the cup is always full.
