I've become fascinated by kinetic art, in other words, works of art that move,
or appear to move, by some means or other. This could be yet another means
whereby we blind people might be able to reach beyond text-only environments. I
certainly find moving objects easier to register with my poor sight than still
ones, and the noise some of this art-work makes is another dimension altogether!
Whether it's safe to touch some of these items even in these days where we're
allowed to touch things at last is an interesting question. Some of them look
positively dangerous! loads of heaving and grinding metal in some cases.
While I was looking at some examples of this genre, I thought, "Why not make a
web page of it?" So I have. It's at an early stage of development (like the
other pages I have), but hopefully you'll find something of interest there.
I've checked the code, the spelling and the links are valid, but beyond that
it's a very simple page. I'm not yet sure quite what I'm driving at, but it
does seem to me that kinetic artists may be solving problems that could impact
on access technology in time.
