ASMR Video Art Pop-Up Opens in Times Square, New York
A pop-up gallery named ASMR Video Art Pop-Up has launched at 1500 Broadway in Times Square, New York, and will be open from February 9 to March 4, 2023. This exhibition, curated by the digital art platform Daata in partnership with Infinite Objects, a New York startup focused on video art prints, showcases 48 video pieces inspired by the Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), a phenomenon known for creating profound sensations of pleasure often referred to as "brain orgasms." Tiffany Zabludowicz, director of Daata, explained that the high number of webcams in Times Square makes it a perfect extension of the digital realm. Featured artists include George Barber, Shamus Clisset, and others, with prices ranging from $320 to $15,000. One notable piece is Pat Flynn's "Melt," a melting cheese simulation available for $1,000.
