about
Speculative Scent Lab is an open-ended platform offering experimental olfactive education, meditation, and programming. The lab’s focus is working speculatively: transcending time through the quantum affects of scent by creating windows into desired futures, mediating ancestral breakages from chemical entanglements, and facilitating portals into collective pasts. We believe in the emergent potential of molecular encounter to heal, refigure our cosmologies, and help us glean deeper into our altered present.
The lab is rooted firmly in criticality, play, and disciplinary porosity as tools of worlding and reclaiming our plural sovereignties.
If you sense any curiosity or alignment, please don’t hesitate to reach out. For press, olfactive inquiries, and commission requests, please contact smell@speculativescent.com.
