Art has traditionally been a visual experience, but what if it could also be explored through touch? Resistart Tactile Panels challenge this notion, offering a new way to engage with artistic works beyond sight. These panels are designed to make art accessible to people with visual impairments and to anyone interested in a multisensory interaction with artistic compositions.
Through a combination of digital fabrication, relief engraving, and material experimentation, the project creates textured, three-dimensional surfaces that can be perceived through touch. The goal is to break visual barriers and redefine the way we interact with artworks, turning them into inclusive experiences where form, structure, and emotion emerge from tactile exploration.
This article explores the philosophy behind Resistart Tactile Panels, the creative and technological processes involved, and the broader implications of making art accessible beyond the visual realm. By integrating art, design, and accessibility, the project rethinks the role of perception and engagement in contemporary artistic practices.
