Touch Museum 2.0 is the second iteration of Weitz's immersive video installation which originally premiered at Young Projects in Los Angeles and received critical attention in Artforum, the LA Times and on KCRW. For its newest incarnation at Archer School for Girls, visitors rest horizontally on acoustic foam while watching Weitz's hypnotizing videos from above. The affect is akin to ASMR, triggering sensations of calm and euphoria through visual and auditory stimuli. Link to this LA Times feature to read more about the original Touch Museum.
