👉 The Cigarette Project, initiated by artist and designer David Carson in 2013, is an ambitious multimedia installation that reimagines the iconic cigarette as a complex, interactive sculpture. Carson designed a series of "smoke machines" that disperse a controlled, odorless vapor mimicking cigarette smoke, accompanied by ambient sounds and visuals. Visitors are invited to inhale this synthetic smoke while surrounded by a digital environment that responds to their breath and movements, creating an immersive experience that questions the sensory and psychological impact of smoking. The project aims to provoke thought about addiction, environmental concerns, and the cultural significance of tobacco through a blend of art, technology, and interactive design.
