READING RESPONSE WK 6

Notes on Blindness is an absolutely beautiful VR experience. It shows the audience how a blind person sees the world that we take granted for. The setting is an ordinary scene of the park through the lens of John Hull’s audio cassette. In his perspective, everything in the world is based on sound, because “every sound is a point of activity”, and without sound and sight, the world is dead. I really like the visual of this project that everything is spawned by a specific movement that creates the sound, almost like a radar or sonar. The world depicted in the project is obscure and abstract, because, in the shoes of a blind person, the world could only be visualized through imagination.
