I'm high on colour from the last 75 minutes spent in the absence of light at the experiential exhibit called Dialogue in the Dark. It's a show designed to let visitors experience what blindness is like. Experience what it feels like to live without sight, to walk blind, to smell blind, to eat, enjoy music, spend time in a cafe, shop and live without sight.
This is what I'd call a designed experience. The outcome couldn't have been achieved by reading or hearing about experiences but only by getting a taste of it myself.
In my head there was this constant attempt at constructing what I didn't know. Didn't see, didn't know. Surprisingly we struck a conversation about dreams with our guide Henry. Can you imagine non-visual dreams? Can you begin to comprehend?
I'm mad about any design that tells a story. Or even better, if it lets me be a part of the storytelling.
