Salome Asega & Reese Donohue & Tongkwai Lulin
ASM(V)R, 2017
VR experience for Oculus Rift
First presented at MoMA PS1, ASM(V)R is an experiment in binaural audio and sound-reactive visual meditation. Created in collaboration with NYC-based artist collective and label PTP Records, ASM(V)R seeks to explore the Uncanny Valley of intimacy in the ASMR Youtube community in the first-ever virtual reality ASMR experience. ASMR (Autonomous sensory meridian response) refers to the experience of head tingling caused by sensory stimuli on the skin. It is a blissful, emotional response often creating goosebumps. This reaction can also be triggered by digital media, such as virtual reality experiences.
