He uses substances such as Ammonia, Coca-Cola and Febreeze while developing films to enhance his works and create a [random chaos] that could not be created with digital.
"Film can be random. Chaotic." Here
It would be fun to try using other substances as they add an element to the film that can not be recreated by another person, it is a technique that would be fun to experiment with however I would have to talk to the technicians to be able to perform this safely.
His is an example of the ways that film can be retouched further than just using filters in the darkroom.
Cross Processing
Cross processing is another form of manipulating the development process of the film, it is the intentional development of E-6 (for slide film) film in C-41 (for negatives) chemicals or vice versa. The effect varies depending on the chemicals and the calibrations that the processing lab uses.
Developing slide film with the C-41 process will give more of a visible effect with negatives coming out more saturation or grain as the colour profile is different and not calibrated for the slide film.

Gavin Smith uses a cross processing technique to add something extra to the outcomes, the photographer can never be fully sure of what will happen to his film in the developing however this process gives a more aesthetically pleasing outcome than standard developing.
