Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Around Simulation II - Simulated Senses and the Un-Simulatable

...at the risk of being naive: the more subjective and arbitrary a type of sense is and the more unsimulable it is too. this is not so much because of the actual difficulty to simulate a particular sense, but because that particular sense has not being payed too much attention to (smell being one) or has been deemed as secondary: thus, it hasn't been subjected to any set of rules (think of perspective) that dictate the way in which a sense has to be reproduced artificially.

I have been thinking about this for a while (coming out of a period of research on conventions and assumptions regarding the act of seeing, so I am very interested in knowing about treatments of the act of smelling or tasting) and would love to hear what everybody else thinks about this issue.

thanks
