'WEIRD SENSATION FEELS GOOD' is extended at London's Design Museum

WEIRD SENSATION FEELS GOOD, the first museum exhibition to explore the creative field of ASMR that originated at ArkDes, has been extended at the Design Museum in London due to popular demand.

WEIRD SENSATION FEELS GOOD: The World of ASMR, which has been on display at London's Design Museum since May 2022, has been extended by six months. Following extensive coverage and a high demand for tickets, the exhibition—with architecture by ĒTER and graphic design by Agga Mette Stage and Alexander Söder—will continue to receive visitors until April 10th, 2023.

Released today: Life of the ASMRtists

To coincide with the exhibition extension, a short documentary film premieres today on NOWNESS. Directed by Jamie Jones, the film goes behind the scenes to explore the creative practices of three ASMRtists: Caring Whispers, Ruby Netherwood, and Atlas. Watch the film here.

About the exhibition
WEIRD SENSATION FEELS GOOD is the first exhibition of its kind to lift ASMR out from your screen and into public space. Bringing together a global group of ASMRtists and creatives, visitors are invited to step into an acoustically tuned environment and understand how new and existing tools and materials are being deployed to negotiate a complex world.
