Aura

Abstract

Aura:maton is a networked, olfactory wearable worn by one dancer in an immersive performance that allows audience members to explore ephemeral scent worlds [Fig. 2]. The performance evokes the memory of the smell of fresh rain on dry earth, known as petrichor. A dancer wears an IoT-connected, olfactory-emitting wearable as they navigate a room-scale environment, projecting dynamic olfactory display. Biofeedback through electroencephalography (EEG) sensing enables the dancer to develop direct communication with each of the five scent vials on a custom-made leather harness scent 'minilab'. The minilab is coded to playback the electrical activity of the brain and choreograph an autonomous symphony of scent-induced trails, as the dancer's scented memories drift through the audience.
