The Flavor Genome
Overview
This 3D film follows a journey to the Amazonian rainforest and secret laboratories of Brazil, analyzing new relationships between human, plant, animal and molecular worlds, and investigating the mutations and hybridization of species, foreseeing the possibility of artificially recreating every sensory experience. The narrator, an aroma specialist, describes a drug derived from a mythical flower with miraculous properties that might produce empathy in humans, enabling them to know what is being felt by a pink river dolphin or an angry teenager. Through her work, Yi explores ways in which our senses are culturally conditioned. Blending elements of documentary, dream and bio-fiction, The Flavor Genome anticipates a renewal in the perception of nature influenced by new scientific and technological discoveries.
