February 2010, London – BRE4TH Project

A team of the multimedia artists and scientists have been exploring new ways of visualisations and sonifications of scent- and breath-analysis using an Ionimed PTR-MS med system.

The award winning multimedia producers Gabi and Terry Braun from BEEARTS CIC created a project with an artistic approach to visualize and understand different applications of PTR-MS. They brought together a multidisciplinary team of programmers, medical advisors and scientists from the group of Chris Mayhew, a veteran PTR-MS user, from the University of Birmingham.

As a result, in February 2010 the public was presented with five public multi-sensational events to experience the hidden secrets in the air, covering:

• The Scent of a Woman (a “blind” date involving PTR-MS),
• Tomorrow’s Breath (medical applications of breath analysis),
• Food by Fraud (food & flavour analysis),
• London’s Lungs (air quality),  and
• The Smell of the Crowd (involving the Grand Union Orchestra).

Interested? Learn more about this on the BRE4TH project’s website, and watch the video coverage on these events.
