Scent as a Postdigital Medium for Storytelling

Monday, March 14
3:30PM - 4:30PM

Austin Convention Center
Ballroom C
531 E 4th St

Scent is a very forceful medium. We stand powerless as it penetrates our nostrils triggering deeply emotional responses. Scent has the power to seduce us or to instill in us a feeling of unease; guiding our behavior and propelling us into action. This makes scent an ideal medium for storytelling and engaging an audience on a visceral level. This panel will present best practices in using scent as a postdigital medium. It will discuss the challenges of the industry, the medium specific properties of scent and its effects on communicative practices. It will investigate the neurological effects of scent and the use of innovative technologies for the creation of effective storytelling with scent.
