Blind Video
A site-specific multimedia installation created in collaboration with VSA for the Arts and funded by the Bureau of Cultural Affairs, Atlanta, GA. Developed in partnership with visually impaired artists, Blind Video explored the intersections of technology, education, and sensory experience.

The core idea was to question the dominance of vision in art and education by using video—a visual medium—as a tool for those without sight. Working directly with visually impaired participants, we engaged them in filming, editing, and experimenting with the primary colors (red, blue, yellow) as conceptual and sensory triggers. The result was a collaborative series of abstract video works created by the visually impaired, not about them.

The installation was housed in a specially constructed corridor leading to an enclosed room featuring three synchronized video projections and a responsive soundscape linked to the primary color themes. Braille texts, transcribing each artist’s personal narrative, ran continuously along the hallway walls.

Sighted visitors were immersed in a disorienting sensory experience—unable to read the Braille, they were left to interpret the sound and color without textual clarity. Meanwhile, visually impaired visitors could engage with the tactile and auditory elements, accessing a narrative often denied to them in traditional visual art spaces.

Blind Video reversed the norms of accessibility, making the blind experience central, and inviting all audiences to reflect on the limits and possibilities of perception.
