WYHIWYS 8, Damien Bourniquel, 2017:
Damien Bourniquel is an artist, hacker, glitcher, keen on creative DIY. For Makery, he created WYHIWYS (What You Hear Is What You See), referencing the famous WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get, literally “as is” talking about user interface), where sound becomes visual and image is made resounding.
For this new opus, Damien tackles the trend on Youtube of ASMR videos (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). A new (?) way of relaxing using whispered videos, proposing a cerebral massage that could bring about “audio-sensory orgasms”. Obviously, the phenomenon rapidly won the hearts of makers who share their tutorials by whispering them.
