• Resumen

  • We live in a visual world. Images are everywhere, especially in museums, wherevisuality is key. When it comes to moving images, the visual aspect of the material iseven greater since the first contact with it offered to the observer is through sight. So,does it mean that visually impaired audiences are doomed to not have a consistentaccess to video content, which means not being able to have a deeper understandingof what is being shown through the moving images? Blind people or people with lowvision live in the same world as everybody else. Consequently, they do have constantcontact with kinetic audiovisual content living in this society. It is time, then, to starttaking this group into consideration when it comes to audiovisual cultural heritage.This article shows the evolution of a project destined to find non-visual multisensory solutions to cognitive access to video content. Through the initiative of MakingSense, a case study involving a series of workshops put into practice at the NetherlandsInstitute for Sound and Vision, it analyses the process of conception, organization, practiceand reflection over the findings of an eight month participatory research.
