Rustling paper, the crackle of frying food, a whispering voice, beads rubbing together: These are some of the sounds that can induce the brain-tingling sensation known a s autonomous sensory meridian response, or A.S.M.R. These kinds of noises are also ubiquitous in the strange and alluring recent videos in Mika Rottenberg’s “Easypieces,” which takes its title from Richard P. Feynman’s book “Six Easy Pieces” (1994): his introduction to the fundamentals of physics for general audiences.

The centerpiece of this show at the New Museum, which was curated by Margot Norton, is “Spaghetti Blockchain” (2019), a 21-minute video that ricochets among warbling Tuvan throat singers in Siberia, the CERN antimatter factory in Switzerland, a potato farm in Maine and an imaginary manufacturer of A.S.M.R. products. In addition to bright colors and bristling, popping and whirring sounds, the video also relies on classically Surrealist , dreamlike scenarios. The idea of matter, and the relationship between animate and inanimate objects, purports to be at its core, although this is a bit lost in the A.S.M.R. sensorium and the excess of sound and color that has come to characterize Ms. Rottenberg’s work.
