Journey to Avalon \u2013 Sounding Images and Wilding Tones<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comics are a medium traditionally driven by visual impressions \u2013 but what if you can’t see those images? The blind artist duo Amy Zayed and Joy Bausch take on this question in their project Journey to Avalon<\/em>, exploring the aesthetic experience of comics for a blind audience. Their imaginative, poetic journey bridges the myth of Avalon with the legendary Glastonbury music festival.<\/p>\n

Using AI alongside artistic and digital tools, Zayed and Bausch investigate how visual media can be made accessible to non-seeing audiences. They blend practical accessibility tools with artistic and pop-cultural references, as well as interpretations of the Grail legend. Their findings take shape in both an acoustic and an AI-generated visual layer, creating a unique audiovisual landscape. To ensure that sighted audiences can also engage with their Sound & Vision<\/em> artwork, they apply methods of Aesthetics of Access<\/em>. In collaboration with sighted artists and reference persons, they develop ways to make the work readable and tangible for everyone.<\/p>\n

Journey to Avalon<\/em> ventures into new artistic territory, building bridges between different perceptual worlds. The project playfully challenges hierarchies of sensory experience and invites audiences to rethink cultural narratives from fresh perspectives.<\/p>\n
