Perfume and sensory installation representing volatile organic chemical (VOC) phenomena releated to drought and rising average temperatures.
This olfactory installation entangles the various anthro-ecological factors related to commercial extinction of the Gros Michel banana.
Microplastics are now pervasive in drinking water, which scholars suggest means we must ret-think bodily relations with(in) plastic ecologies.
Participatory work in the form of a dinner; guests experienced the variability of climate modeling as part of MIT’s Climate, Changed.
