It presents a community of communities that is integral to our globalized world, yet is little acknowledged. It opens up uncharted olfactory territories where  the creolized subject can voice her mixed identity. Though the research was rooted in Chicago, USA, it is by nature translocal. The mixed experience encompasses community members who are mixed race, mixed culture, transgender, bilingual or trilingual, and people who have come up with their own definition of creolization. I interviewed my fellow hybrids, and conducted performative workshops, to gather suggestions from them as to what scents they associate with their \u201cmixed\u201d experience. Then I asked sound artists, whose practice and personal experience is mixed (Christophe Gilmore AKA FluiD, Spencer Hutchinson, Rebecca Pavlatos, and Travis), to collaborate on this project. They correlated the properties of smell with those of sound in order to provide an intuitive and sensible context for the fragrances. In parallel I collaborated with two perfumers (Christophe Laudamiel and Michel Roudnitska) to reproduce some of the scents.The installation consists of shells, made from rice paper mach\u00e9 (hariko, a japanese technique) and each contains a speaker and a custom made scent diffuser. There is a total of 11 such shells, distributed in three forms: hanging pods, corner pieces, and wall embedded pieces.","space":"Sheltered indoor space with access to at least 4 wall electrical outlet running on 4 different circuit breakers. Must be able to use walls and ceiling for hanging.\nSurface: approximately 75 square meters, but it is modular and can be adapted to a smaller space or a meandering surface.\nHeight: ideal ceiling height of 3.6 meters (but it can be less). \nThe lighting should be even and indirect (no spot lights). \nMost of the devices run on 12 volts, except for the computers and audio video equipment.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/71919384          watch from 3 minutes onwards","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Gwenn-A\u00ebl","surname":"LYNN","email":"gwenn@gwennaellynn.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"100575L00413","address":"4445 South Maplewood avenue, apt #2","city":"Chicago","nacionality":"French\/US","country_id":"236","birthdate":"1969-11-03T06:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1969-11-03T06:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+1 773 885 9507","web":"gwennaellynn.com"}
