In Touch
Blindfolded Multisensory Experience
THE ASK
Create a phone-free experience for 29Rooms.
THE IDEA
A blinfolded journey that invited guests to tap into their senses. Upon entering the installation, guests were blindfolded and given a pair of headphones that played a recorded that guided them through a dreamlike ASMR narrative. As guests stepped through the tunnel-like installation, the recording prompted guests to feel the different textures, temperatures, and smells along the walls as they transitioned them between environments. At the end of the walkway, guests were invited to “woke up” and experience the world with newly heightened senses.

"The best of the phone-free interactions was the room made in collaboration with a New York City ASMR space called Whisperlodge… Since you're blindfolded, there is actually no way to photograph anything. There's no record of your experience, no way to garner likes on what just happened. And moving from a damp, moss-covered rock wall, to a flower-filled vertical meadow, with no assurance that you wouldn't get lost in space on the way, required a leap of faith, and delivered, for me, a personal sense of wonder."

"...Maybe the highlight was a touch room where you are blindfolded and walk with headphones through a two and a half minute meditation. It is stunningly effective."
