  • EDC Project Award Proposal: Feeling Tingly?

    Posted by Rachel Stein on February 23, 2026 at 12:07 pm

    “Feeling Tingly?” will be a multi-sensory installation that explores overconsumption by centering materials that reflect the pervasiveness of synthetic substances in contemporary life. This project will examine how everyday plastic waste can carry new meanings when encountered through unexpected sensory experiences. Inspired by ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response), the work invites viewers to explore the nuances of bodily sensation through hypnotic sounds, textures, and visuals designed to evoke “tingles”, a rush of dopamine through the body. Rather than imagining a return to a pristine or waste-free world, this work proposes alternative ways of being-with the waste and pollution we inherit, inviting viewers to reflect on their own consumer realities and relationship to pleasure through tactile, visual, and sensory encounters.
