The Departement of Culture for Breath in 2030
presents
A DIGITAL ARCHIVE OF MULTISPIECES SCENTS FROM NATIVE PINE FORESTS
“Breath is a temporary pact of volatile exchange between the animal and plant kingdoms.”
The project explores an unsettled future, questioning humanity’s relationships with other living entities. It proposes a series of video capsules representing scents produced by select organisms, catalogued as digital Library of Scents.

The digital archive communicates the diverse biogeography of the air created by organisms (plants, fungi, bacteria, insects) surrounding a single tree: the Scots Pine, highlighting the value of breath — and the importance of our sense of smell — by examining them within a digital vacuum.
AuraForest is a catalogue of potential loss: loss of breath, loss of smell, loss of species.
