Starting on a (not) surrealistic approach, as living on a capsule on Mars, allowed us to focus on primitive needs for the future, in a nwe society, for an unexpected situation.

Nowdays, and probably tomorrow, we live in a constant change, with stress and anxiety, and we all need some specific time to purify ourselves in this fast way of life, and return to primitive demands, emotions and spirituality.

​

Ephemeris works as a modern sanctuary, in everyone's home. It will offer a new sensorial experience, using aromatherapy deeply linked to one's state of mind.

Ephemeris is a process: thanks to special sensors, the user's phone collects physiological dat and links it to the surronding smells.

Ephemeris the interacts  with the user's device to spread scents and caress him/her as he/she goes through its nanofilaments falling down the shell to form a jellyfish. 

 

For a few seconds to minutes, it creates a sanctuary and a new rite with the feeling of a "deja-vu" - something that was already smelt which produces a feeling of hapinness and contributes to a purification of the soul and body. 

Ephemeris interacts specifically with each consumer, using the smart phone as a key for a personal sanctuary and turns itself into a mystical object. Ephemeris will be a new daily rite, a rebirth of the spirit.

Ephemeris is design to remain discreet at home and not to disturb daily activities. Its dimensions are minimal and allow a person to move in all directions-
