Hi Vince,
I am looking forward to delving into your very rich site.
Thanks,

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.
Please visit the kinetic art page at ...
