Scentsory Design® is a film that explores the fusion of ‘Emotional Fashion’ with health and olfaction science to create a new concept in perfumery. It is a multi-sensory journey describing the future of fashion and fragrance that goes beyond current microencapsulated techniques, through the inclusion of sensors and microfluidics that sense and respond to psychological and environmental changes. Inspired by the human circulation system and the defence mechanism in bombardier beetles, the purpose is to produce an ‘aroma rainbow’ scent symphony around the user, that changes with emotion.
Scentsory Design® is a collection of responsive clothing that adds more sensations into the fashion palette in ways that create radical new properties with real benefit. By choosing scent as a tool to enhance the quality and beauty of life, and improve mental and physical wellbeing, the wearer acts on visual cues or detects scent signals, allowing immediate information.
We are entering a new age of perfumery that will have a radical impact on mental health. Scent has the power to evoke emotions because the olfactory sense impacts directly with the limbic system (our emotional center). Olfactory substances have the power to change electrical brain activity to increase an individual’s ‘wellbeing’ The aim is to produce an intimate ‘scent bubble’ that ‘pulses’ benefit chemicals in controlled ways responding to personal needs. This allows for efficient scent delivery that is targeted to specific parts of the body. The users confidence in their visual identity is thus enhanced by sensory, psychological and medical wellbeing

Confusing. D
Great !
Listening at the first part, I remained sceptic for a moment. Nevertheless, I had read (and understood :-) in advance the technical explanation of the process, but I needed a time to imagine me on the place of those who produced these sounds and thus, this work.
It seems to me that to understand in what it is really H+, it needs to imagine yourself on the place of the one who, producing himself the sounds, receives them then deformed.
This experience is maybe not so new in itself. Whoever listened himself speaking through any device was able to make it. Nevertheless, there is here a will decided to modify the natural auditive perception, to experiment a change, not of the hearing sense itself, but at least of what reaches us of our “natural” environment. In this, doubtless, there is transhumanism.
NB: to the questions: in what measure is it about a work of art? And also, Cortexelus is the author of work? My answer is yes / yes! The author invents and sets up the device. The “speakers”, as the ambient sounds are only sound materials. The intention and the message of the author are crystal clear.

Great !
A l’écoute de la première partie, je suis resté un instant sceptique. Pourtant, j’avais lu (et compris :-) par avance l’explication technique du procédé, mais il m’a fallu un temps pour m’imaginer à la place de ceux qui ont produit ces sons et donc, cette œuvre.
Il me semble que pour comprendre en quoi elle est réellement H+, il faut s’imaginer à la place de celui qui, produisant lui-même les sons, les reçoit ensuite déformés.
Cette expérience n’est peut-être pas si nouvelle en soi. Quiconque s’est écouté parler par l’intermédiaire d’un appareil quelconque a pu la faire. Néanmoins, il y a ici une volonté délibérée de modifier la perception auditive naturelle, d’expérimenter une altération, non pas du sens auditif lui-même, mais au moins de ce qui nous parvient de notre environnement “naturel”. En cela sans doute il y a transhumanisme.
NB : aux questions : Dans quelle mesure s’agit-il d’une œuvre d’art ? Et aussi, Cortexelus est-il l’auteur de œuvre ? Ma réponse est oui / oui ! L’auteur invente et met en place le dispositif. Les “locuteurs”, comme les sons ambiants ne sont que des matériaux sonores. L’intention et le message de l’auteur sont limpides.
the synopsis is very interesting,However,a work should be able to communicate its ideas independently.
作者的对作品的介绍非常有趣，但是一件作品应该可以独立的传达它的意念，而不是依靠漂亮的说明。这正是这部作品的不足之处，它对概念的传达并不清晰。
