<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;"><div>Hi everyone, I just received news that an art show in NYC to which I had some tactile art works accepted for entry was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to think about bringing large groups of people together. That led to my thinking about how one can make tactile art so that it can be touched safely, i.e., that each touch is on a sterile or cleaned surface. Can tactile art be sprayed with a lysol-like cleanser between touching episodes or can art be designed to be touched with surgical gloves? Can Braille be read with surgical gloves on the reader's hands? I did a quick search on "tactile art and COVID-19" and found that the Exploratorium in San Francisco has temporarily closed the "Tactile Dome". Any thoughts about how to make art or objects for public touching safe from passage of COVID-19 from one person to another?</div><div><br></div><div>Mike</div><div><br></div><div>Michael A.
