We thought about Calligraphy being something mainly visual and thus not really something a blind person can usually experience. While thinking about Braille and reliefs, we came up with the idea to provide some sort of a synesthetic experience of Calligraphy.
In Touch With Calligraphy is the working title for our project. We want to create a sort of booth that shuts out all the outside sensory distractions, and presents the visitor with a vibrant experience of Calligraphy.
The key sensory impression of the ITWC booth is not the light though; it's about touching! In the back of the room the visitor finds a moving panel with different pieces on it - all being made of different materials; and therefore, different kinaesthetic experiences. There are also going to be fans on both sides to project wind at the visitor. Everything is going to be accompanied by sound, in accordance to the piece of Calligraphy shown.
In the picture you can see a quick sketch of the booth.
Over and Out,
Georg

Very nice idea with the braille. But what is the meaning of the wind?
