Reponse

I became inspired to create a body of work relating to sensory stimulation. I am interested in the relationship between neurodivergence and sensory seeking/ sensory avoiding behaviours. In this work I explored sensory triggers which viewers may be calmed by, uncomfortable with or indifferent to. The composition of the video is inspired by the ASMR online culture and how it is displayed for consumption on social media. When installed, the video work was accompanied by a pair of headphones and projected against a hanging mobile of dry microfibre clothes, which are often thought to be a sensory nightmare.
