no scent or colour  is a new bicrophonic work made by Kaffe Matthews with Lisa Hall for the latest design of Enviro Bike, commissioned by The Auxiliary Project for Sonic Arts Week 16 – 23 July 2021 and designed and built in collaboration with Sukandar Kartadinata, BRI, Berlin.

In no scent or colour,  Enviro Bike was used as a tool to connect the rider to imagined beings/ Air Reporters from the future who had evolved to live on our now polluted Earth. Beings who can sense and see the pollution in the air that is now harmful. Through the bike these Air Reporters emitted a world of new sound that they made through reading the passing levels of air pollution the bike gathers as it goes. The result surrounded the rider in a shifting sonic bubble,  informing them about the air they breathe and inviting them to listen to the passing environment in a new way as they rode.
