>> So, really, what it is, it’s a
non-visual museum tour, where you are going

0:12

to be described to with your eyes closed.

0:14

And the idea is that you keep your
eyes closed for the entire tour,

0:17

until your guide tells you to open them.

0:20

I really think of this more
as like time in which we’re —

0:23

intentional time spent with your eyes closed,

0:26

time where you’re exercising
your non-visual senses.

0:29

>> Sometimes, I pick up shapes and colours.

0:33

So, right now, I’m just getting like these
really twinkling sort of lights from —

0:38

like that’s the effect that my
visual field [inaudible] creating.

0:42

And they again just remind
me of Christmas lights,

0:47

a little bit different here

of like how the acoustic space
is changing, as we’re moving.

>> I don’t feel comfortable identifying
myself as blind, is because like, you know,

1:15

you like for synonyms for the word blind
and like they include things like careless,

1:20

like imperceptive, you know,
unknowing– all these, all these —

1:27

you know, seeing is believing, right?

1:29

And we have all these ways of like understanding
vision in our culture that is connected

1:34

to knowledge, but I think when —
what we just did, we close our eyes,

1:38

and we realize that there’s
just so much more to discover.

1:42

>> And we’re right in front of the work now
on our own, and I’m going to ask you to,

1:49

in three, two, one, open your eyes.
