It may seem strange, but for millions of visually impaired people, this is a reality.
A recent video of artistDaniel ArshamshowingDr.
Hoby Wedler, an American chemist, educator, and entrepreneur, one of his sculptures proves this.
Dr. Wedler was born blind, but that does not stop him from insightful commentary on the art.
The artist takes Dr. Wedler’s hands and guides them up the sculpture from the base.
As Arsham begins to explain the sculpturewhich is from a series of pieces based onStar WarsDr.
Wedler’s enthusiasm is palpable.
As with much of Arsham’s work, there are crystals incorporated into the figure.
Arsham does a wonderful job of giving information but also leaving Dr. Wedler to discover the piece for himself.
He moves Dr. Wedler’s hands up the bust and asks him if he understands what it shows.
The video is a wonderful reminder that there is more than one way to enjoy art.
All it takes is a bit of advanced planning.
Some museums even have3D versions of their paintingsfor those with visual impairments.
Artist Daniel Arsham recently opened an exhibition in Venice.
