21st Century Vitalism

The Weird and Wonderful World of Smell Science with Dr. Kate Mclean


Listen Later

Joining us on the show for this episode is graphic designer, cartographer, and smellwalk guide, Dr. Kate Mclean. Kate's work is at the intersection of human-perceived smellscapes, cartography, and the communication of 'eye-invisible' sensed data. She uses a range of media including digital design, watercolor, animation, and sculpture to encourage and stimulate people to consider smell in new ways.


For this conversation, we explore the sense of smell; how it works, why it's important, and what happens when we strengthen our ability to intentionally smell the world. We then talk about her work of mapping smellscapes in urban environments and all of the implications that come with it. You can stay tuned into Kate's work by heading over to Sensorymaps.com
