Next up at #MSUa11 -- "The Story of Accessible Art at the Digital Humanities and Literary Cognition Lab" led y Sarah Geist and Soohyun Cho.
Excited to combine learning about #DH and #a11y into one awesome session.
Panelists begin by noting that #accessible art provides opportunity to reach multiple senses and angles of engagement. It can involve the body and embodiment in exciting, interesting ways that transform art into a whole new experience! #a11y
Panelists describe a project where students wrote poetry, and then other students in art course were tasked with creating a touchable, tangible, tactile, 3D version of the poem so that you could "touch" the story. Poems were also transcribed in Braille. AMAZING. #MSUa11y
@michiganstateu's #BroadMuseum hosts Accessible Art exhibits. How amazing is that?
@michiganstateu Panelists describe another event, titled "Sense of Self." This event included art that showcased multi-sensory experiences of war. Included excerpts from existing poems, novels, and short stories. what a cool way to blend "our" stories to "other" stories.
