Description

Jeanette Müller and Paul Divjak were invited to contribute to a radio programme on Ö1 dedicated to the cultural, emotional, and social dimensions of scent. The broadcast explored how smells evoke memories, shape identity, and reflect changing aesthetic and social trends in perfume culture. Within this context, MUELLER-DIVJAK shared insights from their artistic research practice in SENSING LIVING SYSTEMS. They discussed olfaction as a powerful medium of perception that operates beyond language, influences emotional states, and contributes to collective experience. Their contribution connected contemporary fragrance design and olfactory trends with broader questions of systems awareness and relationality. The invitation provided a platform to present multisensory artistic research to a wide public audience and to situate scent not only within lifestyle discourse but also within artistic and systemic inquiry. #SLS #SENSING LIVING SYSTEMS #FWFPEEKProjekt #MUELLER-DIVJAK Jeanette Müller, Paul Divjak, Alexandra Graupner, Anna-Maria Irgang
