Have you ever wanted to create your own perfume? Or fly through the cosmos? From February 23 – March 24, FOST organized a pop-up arcade to facilitate this. Among the experiences are two Dutch entries, entitled Algorithmic Perfumery and Cosmic Sleep.  The former allows visitors to have their personalized perfume made by AI, while the latter creates the illusion of space travel through a combination of smells and temperature changes. These experiences were created by Frederik Duerinck.
