Description

Ignorance stink, Don’t be ignorant. The first body odour exhibition - Centre of Health Protection, Department of Health 自大不自覺，自覺不自大。世上首個體味實體展 - 衛生署衞生防護中心

Are you familiar with your scent? Have you ever been disturbed by the smell of strangers on the street? Do you know that 90% of people can't check if they have body odour?

“SCENT” Using experience design combined with innovative interactive devices to explore the possibilities of body odour and art. There are three exhibition areas, namely the scent wall, scent DNA and the smoke cube. The scent wall using a conflict between ""visual"" and ""sniffing"", as the rose smells like an oyster to present the smell cannot be judged by the appearance. Body odour can smell like blue cheese or seafood. Different body odours mean different potential diseases. Through the scent, DNA to distinguish the difference between body odour and related diseases, enhance the public's health awareness of body odour.

The large-scale exhibition area in the field – Smoke Cube is based on escape the room, transforming art from viewing to interaction. Participants in each group need to find out who has a body odour problem in the non-speaking smoke glass device, limited to one minute. At the end of the time limit, each participant will pass through a device that detects the odour. The device will calculate the severity of the participants' body odour, and visually present, at the same time, the laser cut will instantly laser engrave the scent map belonging to the participants. After a series of interactive participation, the public will understand that to avoid body odour needs to be broken by dialogue, try to ask people around them, and others will help them to check the smell of body odour.

你熟悉自己的味道嗎？你有曾經在街上被陌生人的體味打擾到嗎？你知道世界上百分之九十的人都無法檢視自己是否有體臭嗎？

【無視形而】運用現代「概念設計」結合創新互動裝置，探討體味與藝術的可能性。展覽場內分別氣味牆與體味庫。氣味牆通過「視」與「嗅」的衝突：如玫瑰聞上來是生蠔味，借此帶出體味無法由外觀判定。體味可以像藍芝士味，也可以像海鮮味。不同的體味意味著不同的潛在疾病，通過體味庫去分辨體味的區別與關連疾病，提升大眾對體味的健康意識。

場內大型展區——白式方塊以逃離密室為藍本，將藝術由觀看轉換為互動。參加者每組五人，需要在不說話的煙霧玻璃裝置內找出那位參加者有體臭問題，限時一分鐘。時限結束後，每位參加者均會經過偵測體味的裝置，裝置會計算參加者體味的嚴重性，以視覺呈現並即場激光雕刻出只屬於參與者的氣味圖贈與參加者。通過「白式方塊」的互動參與後，大眾將可了解到解決體臭需由對話打破，由自己開始主動嘗試去問身邊的人，並由他人幫助自身檢視體臭的味道。
