Performance: Melinda Lauw (textile artist and immersive performance creator)
Melinda Lauw presents hand-tufted textiles and ASMR-inspired video works. Inspired by her own sensory experiences, Melinda will talk about the pseudo-scientific conditions, Trypophobia and Autonomus Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) in relation to her practice. She’ll also talk about her ongoing immersive performance, Whisperlodge – a part-theater, part-therapy, live ASMR spa.
Melinda is a Singaporean artist, curator and performance creator based in New York. She holds a BA in Fine Art & History of Art from Goldsmiths, University of London, and an MA in Art Business from Sotheby’s Institute of Art, New York.

Music: Ysanne Spevack (composer, chef, and sensory experience designer)
Composer and food writer Ysanne Spevack draws from scientific research to build multisensory multimedia immersive experiences on a foundation of her music, food and ideas. Her events are based on a new area of perception research called crossmodality, which explores how our senses interrelate to create an experience that’s unified, despite being made of separate organs, i.e. eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin.
Ysanne Spevack has recorded and/or toured with Smashing Pumpkins, Tiesto, and Christina Perri, written books for HarperCollins and Rizzoli, cooked for Joshua Bell, and created edible gardens for William Shatner. Her sensory experiences and music have been featured in The Los Angeles Times and Huffington Post.
