Scentience: A Collection of Olfactory Expression

The BU Arts Initiative, in partnership with Meg Younger (Biology), BU Department of Biology, and the BU Center for Systems Neuroscience presents an exhibit by artist M Doughtery entitled Scentience: A Collection of Olfactory Expressions. The exhibit will open at 3:30 followed by an artist talk at 4:30.

M Doughtery is a nonbinary, multidisciplinary artist and researcher. With a rich background in many fields, they focus on psychophysical research and artwork which uses design to express the output of research. Their artistic practice originated in sculpture so consistently involves installation and personal interaction through the senses. This manifests in explorations of biomaterials, chemo-sensory information, and the design of wearable technologies that enhance humans’ relationship to scent.
