Entry DescriptionScent Constellation is a dynamic, spatial, multi sensorial art piece that simultaneously represents a perfumer’s organ and the process of creating a scent.
Five perfume typologies are characterised; Eau de Cologne, Oriental, Fougères, Floral, and Chypre, each type is interpreted by a moving constellation of light in a mesmerising cloud between the prismatic nodes. The formulaic relationship between the perfumer’s assistant, the perfumer and up to 200 raw ingredients are represented by a web of crisp lines of light and a corresponding soundscape. The generative light and sound symphony creates a poetic visual metaphor for the process of imagining new perfumes.
An algorithm generates a network of traced lines of light, to create crystalline-like facets, that represent the mathematical relationships between ingredients. The soundscape is created from a library of sounds developed in response to the scent families.
Company DescriptionJason Bruges Studio has become internationally renowned for producing innovative installations, interventions and ground breaking works. This practice involves creating interactive spaces and surfaces that sit between the world of architecture, site specific installation art and interaction design. Considered a pioneer of this hybrid in-between space, Jason has subsequently paved the way for a new genre of design studios, artists and designer-makers.
