Description

On February 26, 2025, a temporary voting booth connected to the installation CONCEPTION OF SYS – THE SMELL OF A MYTHOLOGICAL BEING was presented at the Austrian Embassy in Bangkok by the artist duo MUELLER-DIVJAK. As part of SENSING LIVING SYSTEMS, visitors were invited to smell six different scents and vote for the one they imagined best represented The SYS – a being that fully embodies system awareness and thrives in a complex, ever-changing world. The activity encouraged personal reflection and playful participation, asking guests: IMAGINE A BEING THAT KNOWS AND FEELS EVERYTHING ABOUT CONNECTEDNESS AND INTERACTIONS. HOW WOULD IT SMELL LIKE? The installation sparked imaginative responses and highlighted how cultural context can shape sensory perception and thoughts about systems. #SLS #SENSING LIVING SYSTEMS #FWFPEEKProjekt #MUELLER-DIVJAK Jeanette Müller, Paul Divjak, Alexandra Graupner, Anna-Maria Irgang
