What you will do
In this workshop, you will be introduced to the process of distilling. With the plants that grow on the Mediamatic grounds or the waste from the kitchen of Mediamatic, you will form scent bouquets that can be distilled into an essential oil. Participants are encouraged to bring their own materials according to their inspiration (f.e past experiments have included using lard, fungi and horse hair). After learning about different distilling techniques, combining raw materials and eventually extracting the scent, you will take home a tiny bottle of a 10% solution in alcohol.
