Title: On the discussions of the Aesthetics of the Taste and Smell
Abstract:
In this presentation, the author considers the feasibility of the aesthetic appreciation of the haptics, smells, and tastes. Generally, these sensory domains are not regarded as the subject of the aesthetics mainly because they do not have an artefactual object. The presentation will be started with introducing Sibley's issue (Tastes, Smells, and Aesthetics) and defensive argument of the theoretical issues of olfactory art by Shiner and Kriskovets(2007). Here the author does not give a conclusion for the question whether they could be the subject of the aesthetics or not. Instead, the author illustrates some examples of the "haptic aesthetics" through the Japanese teacups, and gives some examples of the "aesthetic concepts of the taste" through the descriptions of the taste of Japanese sakes.

own urine for the duration of the opening reception for the
Token City installation (a subway simulation) by artist Muriel

• While wearing the smelly dress, the artist was fanning herself
and spreading the odor with a hand fan, one side of which was
lettered with the word “actual” and the other side with the word
“odor”.
