Programme:
6 pm. Het Parfum: Sneak Preview
Come early to attend Het Parfum. Play the Future! and get a free pizza in return! Help us develop our first interactive smelling game by playing for 30 minutes, have some fun and give us your feedback!
In exchange for your feedback you get a delicious vegan pizza and free entrance to Kendra’s Smelly Game Show starting at 8 pm. The number of participants is limited, so RSVP to secure your spot, pizza and Game Show entrance! RSVP here or e-mail to workshop@mediamatic.nl. Smell Transplant Workshop - Participants trying other people's scent
8 pm. Kendra’s Smelly Game Show
The nose (and you) knows more than you think! Be amazed by your knowledge and compete in Kendra’s Smelly Game Show. Ever watched a spectacular game show and thought: 'Hey, I could do this much better'? Well, now’s your chance. Step into this live studio experience and prove the power of your sniffer-whiffer!
A variety of stage games like Name that Fume, Message in a Bottle and Animal Instincts test your innate ability to differentiate and memorise smells, determine fact from fiction, and guess which scents come from wild animals.
Prepare for broken noses as you battle against new friends or future colleagues, or enjoy the sweet smell of success by becoming the Grand Prize Winner! All smellers are welcome, regardless of experience. Players will be grouped, so bring friends or meet new ones.
Tickets (Free to all Test Run attendees)
10 pm. After Party!
Stick around after the Game Show and celebrate the end of a wonderful summer at our After Party. Grab that last chance to take part in the festival of pheromones, and become part of a sweaty body bouquet while dancing to the scentual tunes played by DJs Da Iguana and Okamax. Smell tracks provided by Chiara Antoniacomi, Julianne Lee, and the Institute for Art and Olfaction team.
IAO and Art Olfaction Amsterdam
Play Party is part of Art Olfaction Amsterdam, a collaboration between Mediamatic and The Institute for Art and Olfaction, based in Los Angeles. One of the IAO goals is to provide an accessible and affordable education in their laboratory for the people who have traditionally not had access. They also support the art and perfume communities by advancing experimental practices through ongoing creative residency programs, community-minded events (Experimental Scent Summit, A.I.X. Scent Fair), and through the Art and Olfaction Awards.
