THE ODORBET: A GROWING VOCABULARY FOR OUR NOSES
WHAT IS THE ODORBET?
Please enjoy the growing vocabulary for our nose. Internationally sourced by artist Catherine Haley Epstein and art and olfactory historian Caro Verbeek. Please contact us for submissions, we look forward to fresh-scented new words to add to the Odorbet. We have a collection of words between our combined research and pratices that we will share at random in three-word installations. The words range from neo-dada and futrist scent words, to scientific and anthropological terms. There are contributions from an interdisciplinary community via essays and word contributions.
While Catherine & Caro are facilitating the Odorbet, it is an open resource for all odophiles. If you are interested in contributing please contact us.
Some essays from the Odorbet:
The Nose and Our Evolutionary Impulse: Sex
