XR Scavenger Hunt: Visitors can “help” assemble gifts throughout the gallery spaces by scanning designated image markers through the ARTECHOUSE App. Scan the designated image markers with the ARTECHOUSE XR app, the gifts burst open with Christmas elements & particles on their smartphone screen. A tracker on the app keeps track of all the gifts scanned (as ‘collected’) and the ones yet to be scanned. When visitors scan all the ‘activated’ gifts around the gallery, they receive a reward from the Spectacular Factory! Visitor rewards - Ops team to manage, more information coming soon.
XR-activated images let visitors discover three factory “robots,” the protagonists in the XR Scavenger Hunt, enjoying their holiday-themed hobbies.

This is not your ordinary warehouse; Design is evocative of that of a jukebox, so each boy plays music once opened.

ARTISTS: ARTECHOUSE Studio, Unclaimed Creatives ASMR mimics the comfort we associate with the holidays—soft lights, gentle sounds, and the feeling of being nurtured or soothed. In times of societal stress, ASMR-themed experiences offer participants a tranquil space to slow down and breathe. ASMR-INSPIRED: Very important, the exhibition takes tropes, audiovisual cues, and such from ASMR, but it's not just an ASMR experience, which is important to have in mind when speaking with guests.
ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) refers to the tingling sensation some individuals feel in response to specific sounds or visual stimuli. The phenomenon has gained mass popularity over the last decade due to its calming, stress-reducing properties. It is often tied to videos featuring soothing sounds like soft whispers, tapping, crinkling, or ambient soundscapes. Initially a niche on platforms like YouTube, ASMR has now expanded into mainstream culture, attracting millions of followers globally.
