A Touch of Type – From Cypher to Code
“IN OUR WAY, WE,
THE BLIND, ARE
INDEBTED TO
LOUIS BRAILLE AS
MANKIND IS
TO GUTENBERG.” (HELEN KELLER)
This interactive installation is inspired by the history, practice and future of Braille. It invites us to think about writing as a code and a system for
diversity in communication.
