碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 新媒體藝術學系碩士班 === 102 === We can''t distinguish how many kinds of smell there are. We breathe and simultaneously we smell. Though we smell the same odor, we individually might arouse various memories concerning to different space and time and even our backgrounds. Therefore, the same smell can incur differently individually, reminding them with different images and memories related to that particular smell. The thesis explores the familiar space of oneself from the olfactory sense to the disappearance of odor and forgotten experience. With two extremely contrastive senses, the first creation “Never Mind” has an intention to make audiences recall their forgotten experiences and memories from the past according to their visual intuition and their imaginary olfactory sense. In my second creation ”Stop Breathing for 15 seconds,” I choose to think reversely, hoping that the viewer would get used to the air, which mingled with the odors in the space. My hope is that the viewers could have an alternative imagination or better yet, experience through this device, thereby feel an invisible matter that exist almost everywhere. The third creation ” Deep Breath” reflected on the nose that fatigued to the odor, the situation "olfactory fatigue" influenced me to think that we will get used to our life. Only when something changes, being attacked, or something in the past suddenly appears in our minds, that we would cherish more and arouse many memories. I hope that the viewers could have an alternative imagination, experience though their familiar room with this emotion, thereby feel the unawareness matter that exist almost here.
