There is an unending amount of music and auditory experiences you can find anywhere from orchestra pits to the Zune Marketplace. Music can speak to your moods, let you drift away, or compel you to run and ram into a huge crowd of people doing the same. Music does a lot for people.
The sense of sight is equally explored. Everything from fine art, to sculpture, to movies, to youtube videos, to graffiti, to tattoos, its all an art form that uses our sense of sight.
But the sense of smell is more or less untapped.
I have heard that the sense of smell is one of the most powerful senses we have. Smells can trigger memories.
So why aren't there forms of art revolving around the sense of smell?
Think of a song made up of scents.
What would that be like?
The smell would gradually change, making you feel different things, think of different things.
Right now scents and fragrances are marketed in ways to make your house or room smell better, but not as a form of art.
Do you think the sense of smell will ever have a roll in art? Whether on its own or coupled with hearing or sight?
This is just something I've thought about. And now you're thinking about it.
