About

An ongoing collaboration with scent artist Sissel Tolaas, SHOWstudio investigates the concept of creating a fragrance on the Internet. Based on a provocative concept, the scent takes its inspiration from the theme of 'Violence', devised using Tolaas’ amazing ‘headspace’ technology.

Each of the many processes involved in the creation and marketing of a fragrance – from Tolaas’ scientific practice, the design of the bottle, to the all-important launch itself - will be recorded on SHOWstudio via image diaries, film shorts, live broadcasts and blog entries that document every aspect of the ambitious venture, aiming both to shed light on the mysterious machinations of the perfume industry as well as to use the Internet as a platform for scent for the first time.
