The Olfactory Dimension of Cultural Integration. A multisensory installation - The 'Lost Self' Portrait (RCA 2024 Grad Show)

'A Simpler Place' - A Simpler Place is a participatory installation that explores the integration of Sound and Olfaction and engages participants by evoking personal memories of their past.

Democracy is a series of self portraits realizing the concept of seeing through time. A destruction where no one feels the loss, it challenges the fragility of democratic ideals by confronting the viewer with the unsettling reality of impermanence.

About

Employing a multisensory approach to communication and storytelling, Yati is an Indian artist working with different sensory mediums to capture experiences and narrate stories. Her current practice looks into exploring the omnipresent nature of technology in our lives and the importance of making it more ‘human’ through multisensory integration.

During her time at RCA she worked towards developing olfaction as a mode of communication through participatory research and experimentation in the forms of installations and workshops.

Before studying MFA Communication at Royal College of Art, Yati completed a Bachelors in Design degree at Delhi Technological University and has gained experience working as a visual and experience designer. She has collaborated and exhibited her work at various reputed institutions such as BBC Television Centre, London and National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, India.

In the near future, she is interested in working as a communication designer, developing the idea of sensory interfaces and olfactory communication.
