Infos

This book explores the cognitive processes underlying olfactory experiences and smell-mediated artworks through an interdisciplinary approach, integrating perspectives from art history, neuroscience, economics, mathematics, and physics. The study develops economic frameworks for quantifying smell-related risks and benefits while investigating how prior knowledge and temporal factors shape our olfactory perceptions. Through analysis of contemporary smell-related art practices, it examines how artists use scents to address ecological crises, cultural memory, and social dynamics. The research also investigates time's role in olfactory experiences, revealing how smells connect past, present, and future through individual and collective memories. By integrating scientific methodologies with artistic inquiry, this work provides new perspectives on olfaction's significance in human perception and its potential for addressing environmental and social challenges.
