Greetings from Sensorium's AnnounceMail:
KNOW "Dialogue in the Dark"?
An experimental project that deeply sympathizes with Sensorium's theme of recomposing the "ways we sense the world" was launched recently in Japan.
The experiment--called "Reimei" (Dawn), originally performed in Europe under the name "Dialogue in the Dark"--takes place in a pitch black room, where one hears various sounds, touches plants, drinks alcohol...has a non-visual experience.
Moreover, those who guide us through the room are visually handicapped.
Experiencing the world of the blind through this para-experience makes one realize the extent to which our sensory circuits are shut down in normal daily living.
A remarkable piece of senseware!
