TEAM
Sniffing out the differences is run as a collective with its members residing in India and the USA and led by Kadambari Sahu. All team members are passionate creatives who have full-time jobs elsewhere as designers, artists, architects, engineers, and product managers. Every Sniffing out the differences project is a true team effort - team members spend weekends, holidays, and available time building and creating these projects.
We come together digitally and physically to create multi-sensory installations consisting of novel interfaces that use the unusual medium of smell along with sensor technology to narrate socially relevant stories for today. Each project is based on rigorous research, conception, and experimentation. We started this when we received funding from Prince Claus Fund and British Council in 2018 and we completed our first few projects which were exhibited in the State Gallery of Art, Hyderabad, India in December 2018. After this, we were further supported by ValueLabs and many other Individuals who became team members or volunteered with us during the exhibition. The project has been very well received internationally and has been featured at many prestigious forums.
