Scented Connections, Digital Immersive Exhibition, 2024
The award-winning exhibition, Scented Connections, showcased 15 million data points as a means of illustrating the intangible qualities of perfumes. An interactive display featured 30 data portraits presented by the Robertet Group at VivaTech Paris. Each portrait was based on the most recent 100 fragrance formulas crafted by Robertet's artisans.
The portraits were digitised and exhibited in a digital gallery, aiming to showcase the richness, complexity, and creativity of Robertet's artisans to a broader audience. The installation intended to marry unlikely processes together – specifically, the fusion of ancient perfume-making processes with modern data visualization.
The Robertet Group, a leader in the perfumery industry, had a dual objective to honour its artisans and embrace the power of digital transformation. The project’s challenge was to demonstrate how modern data could enhance a craft rooted in a longstanding tradition of hand-borne instinct. By creating unique portraits for each perfumer, the exhibition sought to make the invisible art of perfume creation visible. In short, Tiziana used numbers to paint a picture of scent.
Scented Connections was presented as an immersive experience at the VivaTech conference in Paris and it has been named a Lovie Awards Winner for People’s Lovie in Best Design, and Silver in Best Design (Websites & Mobile Sites).
