About Same But Different 藝術裝置
《同異之間》係一個將氣味轉化為實體形態嘅藝術裝置作品。呢件作品以「異構體」為概念基礎——異構體係指化學式相同、但原子排列方式唔同嘅化合物,因此可以呈現出兩種唔同嘅氣味。每件雕塑作品都承載住兩種相關聯嘅氣味,並將佢哋嘅分子形態結合喺同一個造型入面。呢啲造型均以3D打印技術製作,再以工業噴槍噴塗多層全息塗料。雕塑內部設有藏有吸附材料嘅腔室,用以保存氣味,並透過幼細嘅導管向外擴散。參觀者可以親手拿起每件作品,細味其中嘅氣味。

Behind the Design
Press Kit

- 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.
- Tags
- 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.
