Regards. Lisa excerpt "In 1983, after years of deteriorating vision, the writer and theologian John Hull lost the last traces of light sensation. For the next three years, he kept a diary on audio-cassette of his interior world of blindness. This film is a dramatization that uses his original recordings. ..." The Story Behind ?Notes on Blindness? From the Directors In May 2011, we received a parcel containing a dusty box of eight C90 cassettes. Amid the analog crackle of the first tape, we heard a now-familiar voice: ?Cassette one. Side one. Notes on Blindness.? It was the first time the recording had been played for almost 25 years.We had met John and Marilyn Hull six months earlier while filming a short documentary about the blind experience of snowfall." Peter Middleton and James Spinney are London-based filmmakers. Their Op-Doc "Notes on Blindness" is an official selection of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. They are currently developing a feature-length version of the film. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/01/16/opinion/16OpDoc-NotesOnBlindness.html?action=click&contentCollection=Asia%20Pacific&module=MostEmailed&version=Full®ion=Marginalia&src=me&pgtype=article Film website ?Cognition is beautiful? In the summer of 1983, just days before the birth of his first son, writer and theologian John Hull went blind. In order to make sense of the upheaval in his life, he began keeping a diary on audiocassette. They were published in 1991 to critical acclaim. The neurologist Oliver Sacks describes the work as ?the most extraordinary, precise, deep and beautiful account of blindness I have ever read. It is to my mind a masterpiece.? With exclusive access to these original recordings, *NOTES ON BLINDNESS* encompases dreams, memory and imaginative life, excavating the interior world of blindness. PREMIERING AT SUNDANCE 2014 http://www.notesonblindness.co.uk/ The Diaries. Into Darkness follows the story of writer and theologian John Hull after he lost his sight in the early 1980s. For three years he kept a diary on audiocassette ? over sixteen hours in total ? deconstructing his experience of blindness in relation to his family, identity and his faith. Into Darkness is the very first time these original recordings have been heard in public. The film takes its structure from the diaries, brought to life by striking cinematography, verbatim reconstructions and creative use of archive footage. http://intodarkness.co.uk/ 104 films website *104 films *make British feature films for a global audience.

The description of the first video was intriguing: a formerly sighted architect who quickly became blind , and his subsequent experiences navigating cities such as San Francisco and Oakland. This is the tale of architect Chris Downey, who advocates designing cities "with the blind in mind", not only because that's good to do, but because the resulting product benefits the sighted as well. http://www.almanacnews.com/blogs/p/2013/11/18/insights-from-a-blind-architect Chris Downey: Design with the blind in mind http://www.ted.com/talks/chris_downey_design_with_the_blind_in_mind.html Chris Downey website http://www.arch4blind.com/ On Bill Fontana's "Sonic Shadows" Stepping through the lobby and into the atrium of SFMOMA, you may be greeted by strange sounds of dripping water, metallic pings, or intermittent clicks. Just as you think you might recognize the sound, it vanishes. Sometimes it seems to travel right past you, while other sounds seem to swerve somewhere near you. It's hard to tell, though, as there's no evidence of anything around that could be making the noise --- or so I'm told. I cannot see and came to visit the museum with a number of friends, most of them also blind or visually impaired. We came to experience /Sonic Shadows/ , the temporary site-specific sound installation by San Francisco's own Bill Fontana . We didn't know it at the time, but it was Bill's work that greeted us as we stepped toward the atrium. http://openspace.sfmoma.org/2011/07/fontana-downey/ Acoustic wayfinding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wayfinding Blind veteran becomes renowned sculptor KRQE ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - One New Mexico war vet lost his sight and one of his hands in Vietnam, but never lost his dream of being an artist.Michael Naranjo went from soldier to sculptor - and has made quite a name for himself.Everything he does as an artist relies on his memory and touch.

Blind faith Legally blind art teacher overcomes the odds John Sandy walks between the tables of his classroom, talking to the children about technique and the art of blending colors. As he moves between the stations he speaks gently to the children and helps guide them through the process. He pauses at one table and picks up a student's work, holding it only inches from his face as he examines it closely. Sandy is legally blind. Sandy, 59, is a Kanawha County elementary art teacher, http://www.wvgazette.com/Life/Peoplelife/201310040159 *The inner eye* Wan Zhouying, a famous Tai Chi master, started to teach blind people shadowboxing in 2009. As a 12th-generation practitioner of Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan, Wan began learning Tai Chi in his childhood. Inspired by a friend, Wan established a training center to teach visually impaired people to practice Tai Chi in the hope of easing their solitude. The difficulties for blind students in learning Tai Chi were unexpected. To teach every move, Wan has to strike a firm position for the students to touch him and feel the positions of his body, including the shoulder, the wrist and the ankle. It is followed by another round of training where Wan corrects their movements one by one. Despite these difficulties, Wan believes that blind people are naturally suited to learn Tai Chi and they better comprehend the subtlety of this physical art that demands internal exploration from the practitioner. http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/815968.shtml#.UuYhMbDKyRs George Mendoza: Colors of the Wind Textile designs and paintings by author, athlete and artist George Mendoza http://www.irvingartscenter.com/Performances/EventsCalendar/EventDetail.aspx?id=504 Legacy funds craft centre for blind veterans The first year's proceeds of a ?1m legacy left to Lloyd's Patriotic Fund by late Lloyd's legend Charles Skey, has funded a new art and craft centre for Blind Veterans UK. http://www.lloyds.com/news-and-insight/news-and-features/community/2013/charles-skey-legacy Award Winning Visually Impaired Artist Self proclaims "Inspirational Blind Artist", Michael A.

Michael Rilstone, of Grimsby, Ont., went legally blind at the age of 59, losing sight in one of his eyes within less than 24 hours. "My retina fell right off and after seven operations they finally got it to stay, but now I'm just left with just shadowy sight, which is actually a problem because I see double," Rilstone said. He became increasingly frustrated with smudging his work with conventional paint brushes and so began painting with a powerful magnifying glass and toothpicks. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-artist-uses-toothpicks-to-paint-detailed-portraits-1.2505800?cmp=rss A Different Perception: Artist Continues Despite Growing Blindness Standing at the top of the steps leading to his studio in Wassaic, N.Y., Joel Foster cuts an impressive figure.

Max has been blind since receiving treatment for stage 5 cancer in both eyes at 9 months old.

Instead, she sees with her hands. "For me," she said, "my sense of touch is my vision." http://posttrib.suntimes.com/news/24414564-418/hands-provide-vision-for-blind-clay-artist.html Israeli artist uses Braille in art to aid visually impaired When Turkish blind painter Esref Armagan first started to paint, absence of visual acuity was never a hindrance. There were times when he painted the sea and thought he'd need a life-jacket to save him from drowning. Cut to contemporary Israeli artist Roy Nachum, who believes vision is only one such barrier which obstructs the perception of art. In his most recent art works, Roy Nachum based in New York, has incorporated Braille into paintings to expand on the possibility of making art accessible to the visually impaired. http://freepressjournal.in/israeli-artist-uses-braille-in-art-to-aid-visually-impaired/ Partially blind artist displays artwork of flowers Maggie Love is living proof that age is but a number. Love, who suffers from partial blindness as a result of macular degeneration, will display 15 paintings at University Mall as part of its Artist of the Month program. http://www.dailytarheel.com/article/2013/12/maggie-love-1202 Artist incorporates Braille into paintings so visually impaired can experience artwork Roy Nachum, 34, sculpts poems in Braille as backgrounds for his oil paintings as a way for the visually impaired to appreciate his work. His art --- which will be featured at the POSH Arts & Interiors auction Monday --- also experiments with color-blindness tests and reflective props, urging viewers with sight to confront their own limitations. http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/artist-incorporates-braille-poems-paintings-article-1.1527065 Philadelphia museum tells blind visitors: Please touch! Angel Ayala has never been a big fan of museums. Blind since birth, the high school student says the exhibits are so sight-dependent that he can't enjoy them. But he's making an exception for the Penn Museum, an archaeology and anthropology center that offers touch tours for the blind and visually impaired. Ayala can now feel the eroded limestone of an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus and the intricate hieroglyphs on the statue of a pharaoh. "When I touch things, it's my version of a sighted person's eyes. It tells me way more than a person describing it would ever," Ayala said. The institution, which is part of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, began offering the tours last year in an effort to make its extensive collections more accessible. Museums should serve the community at large, and that includes the unsighted as well as the sighted, said program co-ordinator Trish Maunder. same text- different photos http://www.southbendtribune.com/life/travel/article_b837d722-6580-11e3-8c09-001a4bcf6878.html http://www.dailylocal.com/lifestyle/20131227/pa-museum-tells-blind-visitors-please-touch http://www.masslive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2013/12/travel_pennsylvania_museum_tel.html http://www.redding.com/news/2013/dec/12/philadelphia-museum-tells-blind-visitors-please-to/ http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/living/lifestyles/1023432-469/museum-tells-visitors-please-touch.html# Elliott and Trent Phillips were making Christmas cards Saturday, but they weren't drawing, as they do at home. "I just wrote my name in Braille," Elliot said as he glued a pipe cleaner onto a Christmas tree cut from what resembled sparkling sandpaper. The Phillips twins were among a group of children gathered at the American Printing House for the Blind for the annual Holiday Card Factory, which brings the blind and those with sight together to make greetings that appeal to the sense of touch, rather than sight From sngul at yildiz.edu.tr Thu Feb 13 13:03:58 2014 From: sngul at yildiz.edu.tr (sngul at yildiz.edu.tr) Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 15:03:58 +0200 Subject: [Artbeyondsightmuseums] Interactive Spaces and Art Object in Art Museums Survey Message-ID: An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am the Equality and Access Officer at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and we have been providing accessible services to visually impaired visitors for many years. In answer to your questions: * Does anyone have experience writing visual descriptions of objects? Or do most museums contract this out? BG: at the V&A we sometimes use an external organisation who specialise in audio description, however I do prefer to use one of our own guides as she has years of delivering talks at the museum as well as previously working at a school for visually impaired children. I have found that external organisations often provide a detached description and can get caught up with describing the object and miss the visitors requirements. We have found from focus groups that people will not listen to a description for more than 2min 30sec, so when hiring someone to describe the objects please do not let them create a script which is too long. * Do any other museums offer a self-guided touch tour? If so, what are some of the challenges or strengths you have encountered? BG: We do offer a self guided tour which can be useful for visitors. Challenges Assisting visitors to find the object, we have over 7 miles of galleries on many different levels. Giving directions over such a large venue is extremely problematic as if you give stride lengths this will differ between person to person. On occasions, visual clues have been given which do benefit some visitors, however you must consider who the audios are being developed for. We decided not to give any direction apart from providing information on room locations. Strengths Providing audio is accessible to a greater range of audience. Although the descriptions are useful for visually impaired people, a good description will guide a sighted visitor to key points on an object, something they may otherwise miss. * How do you advertise your programs and what community relationships have you found successful? BG: We advertise via mailing lists we have built up over 30 years of offering touch tours. We offer the information in braille, large print and via email. We also work with societies for the blind and advertise in relevant media including the disability press. I hope this information helps, please do come back to me with any further questions. You may also like to contact two people at the Smithsonian, Beth Ziebarth, ziebarth at op.si.edu Nancy Proctor, nproctor at si.edu Best wishes Barry >>> "Meliska, Elin" 24/03/2014 16:05 >>> Hello, My name is Elin Meliska and I am developing a self-guided touch tour for blind and low vision visitors at the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum.

The full tour consists of tactile paintings and description of the paintings. I will be glad to send you a copy of the tour, with examples on how to do the description of the art work, and how to create the tactile "paintings". This is free, a low cost budget, and often can be done in-house for the artwork and sent out for the completion of the tactile "painting". Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information.
