Abstract

This research will examine the problem of the fruition of the chromatic element, dominant in contemporary art, by people with visual impairments or blindness (VIB). The process of Sonification (i.e., a technique for communicating information that employs sound to describe data) will be applied in order to translate the color dynamism of the artwork into sounds, taking into account the inner rhythm of the painting. The outcome of the research will be the creation of assistive technologies that can make artworks fully accessible by ensuring a simultaneous overview through word-sound-touch juxtaposition, with the aim of offering a total multimodal and multisensory experience of the artwork.
