W10 III: Back to the First Entry

As a new, separate discussion regarding my first entry, I saw a YouTube video that reminded me of the confusion I had in writing that response. Because of this, I started investigating and searching through the comments until I finally found a video titled “1 Hour ASMR. Soap Only. Very satisfying relax sound. Compilation,” and I believe I just found my new hobby, and something that relates to Berger’s argument in one way or another. The videos show hands using what seems to be a knife cutting through perforated bars of soap. However, the full bar of soap is still intact, while the buttery-looking soap peels with ease. At first, I thought it was going to be a crazy representation of some person cutting their hand off (or something weird considering I saw a hand and a blade in the same frame). However, and after going to HOME to search for some ASMR Soap Bars (yes–they are real and they retail for more than a regular bar of soap), I thought of Berger’s assertions of fragmentation. Now, I am sure that I am not using the correct context in relation to the accuracy of Berger’s assertions, but if you take a picture and stop the video on a frame where the perfectly, buttery squares of soap are landing–this creates an immaculate image that elicits a need to spend money on these materials just to achieve that desired effect. Because of this image, I went to HOME and bought an “ASMR Lavender Kit,” and now I’m -$30 in the hole with a new hobby. To see the video, follow the hyperlink–it should be the first video that appears when searching “ASMR compilation.”
