  • ASMR at ArkDes: a Virtual Vernissage

ArkDes invites you to the virtual vernissage of WEIRD SENSATION FEELS GOOD – an exhibition about ASMR. Tune in (with headphones) from 5pm CEST on April 7, 2020 to learn more about a field of design that mediates between mind and body.




Although we built this exhibition for the mind and for the body, for now (and for obvious reasons) we invite you to experience it with your ears and eyes! Like many works of ASMR, this virtual vernissage will be best experienced from a comfortable spot and through your favourite pair of headphones.
