 \n\n\n\nWe are perceiving the world with all our senses; In visual med
 ia we've become mesmerised by the vibrancy of saturated coloured light
 , it reminds us of the colours of the hypnagogic fireworks in our mind
 s. Ipods and MP3 players allow singular insular worlds of sound, which
  have become a personal soundtrack to real life instead of its own sou
 nd. Our sense of smell is informed by a synthetic overlay of fragrance
  in our personal space, the larger environment is re-perfumed with sub
 stitutes for the smells of nature and we make new associations with sm
 ells never before encountered.\n\nHow do these combined nuances of med
 iated sensing feel under our skins? What would a synthetic smell recep
 tor be able to sense in 2020? and what are the consequences of being a
 ble to smell more-are we numbed to most of the fragrance of our time? 
 Although we seem to be 'anosmic?'?.. (the term for a lack of sense of 
 smell) to most of the fragrance of our time, odour signals are being t
 ransmitted, received, translated and associated by all living beings i
 n nature. Could we grow an awareness of the full cross-sensory fragran
 ce of life? These are some of the questions we would like to discuss i
 n the coming weeks.\n\nOur first venue for discussing these issues was
  through a public theatre/laboratory we constructed called 'Crossing W
 ires' which ran over three weeks during November 2009 in a downtown st
 orefront in Auckland, New Zealand. The installation was both a working
  laboratory and a performative spacewhich provided us with an alternat
 ive venue to develop our dialogue on cultural, social and temporal con
 structions of olfactory sensing, building a relationship between the l
 anguages of science and art. Human smells were collected and processed
 , and passers-by were invited to experience, the smells and engage in 
 dialogue. The lab was the 1st step towards collecting, categorising an
 d coding of the human plume. For more detail see our blogsite for the 
 installation (www.crossingwireslab.tumblr.com)\n\nOur respondents: Jen
 ny Marketou, Hilda Kozari, Sergio Basbaum and Ian Ferguson will join t
 his discussion.\n\nFor more information visit https://visualmusic.ning
