Portrait: Frank Bloem - Smelling like another being trial Frank Bloem was the host of our trial workshop 'Smelling like another being' with our other Mediamatic guests. Here, our interns and Mediamatic collaborators joined to take a first glance of what the workshop would look like, so he guided them into this variety of smells. 'Smelling like another being' is a workshop hosted by our lecturer Frank Bloem, which promotes awareness about the diversity of species in our ecosystem by smelling. This workshop consists of creating scents in a lab using… Andrea Valdivia

Meet-a-Maker is a 30-minute session to have a one-on-one talk with artists currently working at Mediamatic. We are lucky to be inspired by the many artists who work and stay with us for exhibitions, residencies and workshops. We welcome you to meet them and be inspired as well!

About the artist

Frank Bloem is an artist who uses scent as his primary medium. He studied Fine Arts at the Rietveld academy. In the summer of 2016, Frank changed his focus from visual art to olfactory-based works. He started The Snifferoo, a perfume laboratory and a place for education and experiments in the realms of scent. This led to various commissions from personalized perfumes to the recreation of elephant smells for the Amsterdam Zoo.

Frank leads the Aroma Lab at Mediamatic and hosts perfume workshops here every month.

Frank speaks Dutch and English.
