Sensory Maps

“My name is Kate McLean, an artist and designer, creator of smellmaps of cities around the world. I focus on human experience of urban smellscapes – rendering it as “eye-visible” through mapping. While the visual dominates and the digital distances, I believe we should re-connect with our sensing selves so as to relate to where, and who we are. I find the sense of smell intriguing, elusive and ephemeral… captivating and worthy of study.

Smells form part of our knowing, but are elusive, often disappearing before they can be described pinned down. Smell experience is an invisible and currently under-presented dataset with strong connections to emotions and memory. I am part of a small but growing number of innovative practitioners committed to the study and capture of this highly nuanced sensory field”. | More information
