A live performance using motion capture and eeg brain wave detector.

How long can a faint fragrance last? How long does it take for an aromatic molecule to disappear? When an aromatic molecule is released into the air, it absorbs moisture like crazy and eventually hides itself in the air forever. This is the life story of an aromatic molecule, and a synesthetic experience for the audience.
