And there\u2019s a very strange smell in the air.

Filled with helium, propelled by rotors and powered by a small battery pack, the aerobes are clearly machines. But the way they look and behave makes them seem more like natural organisms. It makes us wonder if this is what machines could be like in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"777\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Aerobe-facts--777x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-228106 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Aerobe-facts--777x1024.jpg 777w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Aerobe-facts--228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Aerobe-facts--768x1012.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Aerobe-facts-.jpg 1087w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Like a bee\u2019s dance or an ant\u2019s scent trail, the aerobes communicate with each other in ways we can\u2019t really understand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Incredibly, the \u2018intelligent\u2019 aerobes respond to visitors.

It smells a little bit fruity, a touch spicy, and slightly smoky, too! We learn that this odour was designed to recall the time of the Black Death in the 14th century. Back then, doctors would have worn masks lined with with cloves or oranges to disguise the reek of rotting bodies. Eww!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">SCENTSCAPES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Each week the gallery will be filled with a new odour to recall a diff erent era in the area\u2019s history. Coal and ozone smells will conjure up the industrial revolution; marine scents will take visitors right back to pre-human history when the world was underwater, and the Cretaceous period will stink of vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">SHARED AIR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The smells in the space remind us that the hall is not an empty space; it\u2019s filled with the air that we all share, connecting us to each other and to our environment. In the time of Covid-19, this is something we\u2019re more aware of than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">WHO NEEDS A BRAIN, ANYWAY?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It\u2019s not just humans that can be clever. And not all intelligence comes from brains! Anicka\u2019s machines are inspired by real-life creatures that have physical intelligence rather than brain intelligence, responding to the world with their senses. Let\u2019s meet some\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">JELLYFISH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Jellyfish don\u2019t have brains at all, but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re not extraordinarily complex. Their sensory organs recognise and respond to light, touch, gravity, temperature and the saltiness of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jellyfish.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jellyfish.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-228712\" width=\"515\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jellyfish.jpg 747w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jellyfish-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">FUNGI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">More closely related to animals than plants, recent studies suggest fungi are capable of learning and decision making, and have short-term memories!

But Anicka\u2019s art asks, what if they lived peacefully alongside us, evolving into independent life forms? Can you imagine sharing your world with curious, gentle machines like the ones at Tate Modern?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">ABOUT ANICKA YI!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Anicka is a very exciting artist! She creates portraits and sculptures out of smells, is fascinated by AI, and has lots of interesting ideas about human behaviour that she wants us all to think about! She doesn\u2019t work alone, but with a team of expert engineers, microbiologists, computer scientists and perfumers among many others. Top teamwork!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 39%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"430\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Anicka-headshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-228735 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Anicka-headshot.jpg 430w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Anicka-headshot-300x285.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In my imagination I was thinking about the Turbine Hall as a kind of aquarium.
