Fig. X.5 Luofei Dong Y2, ‘Dictionary of Smell’. The project explores the possibilities and impossibilities of olfactory description through both written and visual languages. This captured image is composed of ten three-dimensional models, each derived from hand-drawings and digitised using computer software. Each form represents a single smell from a single object, which is personal and relatable to Luofei’s identity/experience, e.g. ‘damp cigarette stub’ or ‘worn leather shoes’. Fig. X.6 Ryuhei Oishi Y2, ‘In the Sea’. “I made a stool with driftwood, without using any electrical tools, nails nor screws. I feel machinery deprives natural beings of their vitality. To preserve the vitality, it is essential to stick to nature. By the way, I know what is natural and unnatural a priori. Anyway, why do I believe in nature so much? The answer
is simple. I have never seen anything more sublime than nature. I’m not talking about a dichotomy between nature and humans, but instead, about the simple oneness of nature.” Fig. X.7 Grace Simmonds Y2, ‘Kite Surveillance’. A still from the film ‘Kite Surveillance’ of Sir Denys Lasdun’s student accommodation at UEA. A commentary on modern-day dystopian surveillance systems.
