SNIFFING BOOTH
26 FEBRUARY 2011
FOWLER MUSEUM OF CULTURAL HISTORY
Art|Sci director Victoria Vesna and
Art|Sci fellow Siddharth Ramakrishnan
presented the Sniffing Booth game as a
part of the Ucla Center for Society and
Genetics Symposium which explored the
dog-human relationship through multiple
perspectives, as well as the Human/Dog
Co-Evolution symposium held at UCLA.
The following day, February 26th,
Victoria Vesna and Siddharth Ramakrishan
presented the Sniffing Booth at
the Wilson Plaza along with outdoor
presentations, dog demonstrations and
workshops exploring the relationship
between humans and dogs.
As humans we interact with the
world around us relying primarily on
visual information. This gives us a
perspective of our environment from an
anthropocentric viewpoint. Many of us
are not aware of the different sensory
potentials that other animals possess,
which paint a very different picture of
the world around us. We wish to raise
awareness of this aspect of sensory
perception by using the dog, an animal
that has been ubiquitous in the human
home environment for centuries, as a
model.
