In an effort to engender a more immersive artistic experience, Tate Britain is putting together a show which seeks to combine all five senses and challenge the perception of art as a purely visual experience.
Titled "Tate Sensorium," the exhibition brings together the expertise of a master chocolatier, a scent expert, and an audio specialist to offer visitors a unique gallery experience where they can taste, touch, smell, and listen to art.
The revolutionary project by the creative agency Flying Objects is the winning proposal of the second annual IK Prize, which was established by Tate to explore innovative ways to experience British art through technology.
“The idea [is] that our senses work together, they are not in a vacuum," multimedia producer at Tate Media Tony Guillan, who oversees the prize, told the Independent. "While painters obviously work in a visual medium, maybe they were inspired by non-visual things. Maybe Bacon was inspired by things he heard, tasted, or touched."
"Tate Sensorium" will be on view at Tate Britain, London, from August 26 – September 20, 2015.
