ASMR: How whispering took over the internet
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is an intensely pleasant, tingling sensation that some people feel when they see or hear certain stimulants. This strange phenomenon's trajectory is an intriguing one, and ASMR content is now popular worldwide.
This film explores Weird Sensation Feels Good: The World of ASMR at London's Design Museum, the first exhibition to celebrate the peculiarly pleasant world of ASMR. And it reveals online creators Gibi and Made in France ASMR, the "ASMRtists" who are pushing the boundaries of creativity.
