Our "map" was less location based and more focused on olfactory human traces, which are rhizomatic by nature and by the institutional design at UF. Here is the list of items we searched out to smell. All of these items were located when the tour was planned, the items with an asterisk were not experienced upon the realized tour.
1. doornobs
2. bicycle helmets *
3. handlebars
4. bicycle seats*
5. benches*
6. picnic tables
7. live lunch eating*
8. napkins*
9. railing
Intense smells were noted but there was surprisingly no distinctly human smell. The permeable rubber of the bike handles absorbed what could have been a scented lotion. Concrete was pungent but indiscernible. Metallic objects did not retain a significant olfactory "human" mark.
this is so smart, wished we had thought of it, traces of smells make so much scents (hee)
ReplyDeletesmell seems ore and more like the production of something else, or the name of a thing that is visual or much more tangible than the smell itself...
