ASTROKINEGLYPH

ASTROKINEGLYPH presents a pioneering series of one-of-a-kind prototypes, delivering immersive and multisensory accessible galaxies. This innovative fusion of touch and sound offers an unprecedented exploration of spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxy shapes, revolutionising astronomical understanding for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Developed in collaboration with the James Pocklington Trust and Liverpool's World Museum, these prototypes will soon grace the museum, championing inclusivity in the realm of science engagement within museum spaces.

Science has been my guiding star in crafting tangible connections to the cosmos. Photometry, the measurement of star brightness, influenced how I translated luminosity into tactile variations, resembling mountain peaks. Photographic Plates inspired the creation of tactile galaxies by etching negative images onto wood, capturing the essence of stars. Spectroscopy led me to experiment with resin representations, aiming to convey star composition through color. Interferometry introduced depth by converting elemental components into grayscale, adding texture to tactile designs. These scientific methods shaped artistic innovation, enabling the blind and visually impaired to touch and comprehend the universe's mysteries.
