This video shows how people, who may be completely blind, still ’see’ the world. Abstractly, the white on white ‘world’ represents blindness from an outsider’s point of view, while the black segment of the video represents the ‘world’ from an insider’s view. The “outsider’s world” is suppose to evoke a feeling of alienation to the viewer, representing the alienation that people may feel in real life towards people or concepts they do not fully understand.
This project followed a system, which integrates sound with the structure of braille lettering. Each braille cell/letter consists of a combination of six dots. By assigning one note to each dot, each letter produces a different musical chord. This enables the audience to experience typography through sound instead of sight. This may sound abstract, but what is braille, but type through touch? This video shares a reading experience through a different sense. This way, the viewer is brought a little closer to the the blind experience.
