ARTECHOUSE Presents TINGLE BELLS: An ASMR Inspired Holiday Special
On view to the public November 22, 2024 through January 5, 2025, at ARTECHOUSE DC
WASHINGTON, DC – October 22, 2024 – In a sea of seasonal over-stimulation, ARTECHOUSE invites you to step into a world of serenity and sensory wonder with their new immersive holiday exhibition, Tingle Bells: An ASMR Inspired Holiday Special.
Opening to the public on November 22, 2024, at ARTECHOUSE DC, Tingle Bells: An ASMR Holiday Special, will be an immersive digital exhibition designed to soothe your senses and warm your spirit. Inspired by the transformative power of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), this one-of-a-kind, limited-run experience invites you to unwind in a sanctuary of sound and visuals designed to promote relaxation in the mind and body.
“When thinking about our Holiday show this year, we kept going back to the fact that in 2024, society is in a uniquely heightened state of anxiety, a condition fueled by multiple intersecting factors,” said Sandro Kereselidze, Founder and CCO of ARTECHOUSE. “ASMR felt like an ideal theme for this holiday season because it helps people “unplug” while still engaging with digital media. This exhibition offers up seasonal spirit, while also providing the sensory escape people crave, allowing them to disconnect from external chaos while finding comfort in immersive sound and visuals.”
Join ARTECHOUSE for an experience where tradition meets innovation, and the warmth of the holidays is reimagined through cutting-edge digital artistry. Let the gentle whispers, delicate sounds, and entrancing visuals take you on a journey of comfort and calm, creating an oasis amidst the hustle of the holidays. Whether seeking solace from daily overstimulation, holiday stress or simply reconnecting with a sense of inner joy, this exhibition is your escape.
Exhibition Highlights:
- Immersive 20-Minute Cinematic Experience: A 20 min cinematic journey through three distinct scenes that transform popular ASMR themes into fresh visual and auditory landscapes—each scene designed to evoke feelings of comfort and curiosity. Witness gift wraps unravel into playful Tetris pieces and explore surreal “slice-of-life” settings within digital dollhouses, all enhanced by delightful, immersive soundscapes that enrich the atmosphere.
- Innovative Sound Design: The exhibition features choreographed audio that melds familiar holiday melodies with cutting-edge ASMR sounds, creating an auditory environment that is both soothing and invigorating.
- Interactive Auxiliary Galleries: Extending the immersive experience, auxiliary galleries offer hands-on installations that make digital interactions feel tactile. Visitors can engage with auditory exhibits that explore the interplay between sound and texture, including a playful installation featuring ramen noodles defying gravity.
- ARTECHOUSE XR Bar: The ARTECHOUSE XR Bar features signature seasonal drinks curated just for the exhibit.
