About Same But Different 艺术装置
《同源异构》是一件将气味转化为实体形态的艺术装置。作品以同分异构体为灵感——这类化合物拥有相同的化学分子式，却因原子排列方式不同而可散发出两种截然不同的气味。每件雕塑承载着一对相关联的气味，并将其分子结构形态融合于同一造型之中。作品采用3D打印成型，再以工业喷枪逐层喷涂全息漆料。内部腔体填充吸附性材料以留存气味，气味经由细微导管向外扩散。观众可以手持每件作品，近距离嗅闻其气息。

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- The project is about converting smell into a physical form and constructing visual interpretation in two different approaches. For the first approach, to provide a tangible experience of the smell, forms were created. Each shape contains two relevant smells. Molecular representation of the smells has to be placed together to create a form. Smells were contrasted in their juxtaposition to each other using still-life layouts based on these smells' chemical arrangements for the second approach.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The 3D forms around 12-15cm and printed with the maximum resolution of the printer. The inside of the forms has internal chambers (2cm) with absorbent materials, which allow preserving the smell. The chambers are connected to the exterior through thin conduits (2mm), which allow the smell to diffuse out.

- smell, chemistry, 3dprint, sculpture, art, tangible, juxtaposition, 3d, holographic
- Production Technology
- The forms were 3D printed and coated with several holographic paint layers applied by an industrial airbrush. Shape and a colour give a hint about the duality of the smell preserved in one form.
- Design Challenge
- The project's greatest challenge was to stay on the scientific side and translate real phenomena into the experience for the ordinary person.
- Research
- There are thousands of chemical substances. The exploration is about unique pairs which have the same formula but have two different smells. Only a small variation in the arrangement of their atoms makes them different. This rare and unique phenomenon was found and confirmed with experts (perfumers and chemists) through the research.
- Inspiration
- The complexity of the human senses is impressive. If you are interested in the topic, it will bring you to the research in the chemistry behind them, in this project specifically to smells.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2017 in Moscow and finished after five months. It was exhibited in the "Reveal" show in June 2017.
- Operation Flow
- People can smell and grab the sculptures to experience them from different angles.
