SUMMARY:ASMR Live- Rob Funkhouser
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Main Gallery for a live performance of ASMR with artist Rob Funkhouser. \nDoors are at 6:30pm\, performance starts at 7pm. \nAutonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a previously unstudied sensory phenomenon\, in which individuals experience a tingling\, static-like sensation across the scalp\, back of the neck and at times further areas in response to specific triggering audio and visual stimuli. This sensation is widely reported to be accompanied by feelings of relaxation and well-being. The current study identifies several common triggers used to achieve ASMR\, including whispering\, personal attention\, crisp sounds and slow movements. Data obtained also illustrates temporary improvements in symptoms of depression and chronic pain in those who engage in ASMR. \nRob Funkhouser is a composer\, performer\, and instrument builder who can never quite sit still. His work is concerned with ideas of place\, memory\, and pattern and he is interested in interrogating the interstitial spaces between established genres. He holds an M.M. from Butler University in Music Composition\, and most recently completed Peace of Mind\, Speed of Thought for Classical Music Indy. He has released projects through various labels in three different countries\, but finds his home turf on Auris Apothecary and Medium Sound. His current projects include an ongoing series of recordings and writing under the title Walking Music\, building a new set of instruments in collaboration with artist Justin Cooper\, and ongoing work on new performance tools for music and installations. In 2020\, he began a long-term living residency with Big Car as part of their APLR program. He also serves as Education Manager for the Rhythm Discovery Center\, where he runs public programming for schools and community members. He has collaborated with diverse groups including Forward Motion\, Los Angeles Percussion Quartet\, So Percussion\, No Exit Theater\, and Chicago-based director Ryan Gleason. \nThis series is part of the exhibit Julie Xiao\, “A Journey.” Events in the gallery during this show will center around healing and mediation.
