Exploring the world of Olfactory Illusions at Casa do Alentejo in Lisbon. Delving into the neuroanatomy and psychology behind our perceptual variations and its impact on scent artistry and practice. A big thank you to the Institute for Art and Olfaction () and their incredible team for organizing an unforgettable summit.

Premiere Performance! Symphonic Ephemera invites audiences to experience a symphony of scent on the Odor Organ, a new instrument that the artist created in the familiar form of a piano that allows people to play scents instead of sounds. While the Odor Organ has been exhibited previously, this will be the first time it will be shown in the context of a performance.

Join us at Olfactory Art Keller this Thursday, August 24 at 8 PM (link in bio for tickets)
