The first international symposium of the ERC project OLFAC from 3–5 December at the ifk explores the Intervening Performativity of Smell. It brings together an international constellation of scholars and artists to explore the many ways in which smell intervenes in cultural, aesthetic, and political formations. While the OLFAC project investigates smell as a performative force at the intersection of sensory politics and aesthetics, the symposium opens an expanded field of inquiry: one that invites participants to critically engage with olfaction across disciplinary, methodological, and sensorial thresholds. olfac.kunstuni-linz.at
