Re: [AI] Regarding Job.
Hi, Jobhunting can be painful to be sure, but you have a decent amount of experience with a few IT companys, so here's wishing you all the best and hope that someone here is able to help you out. Makes me bloody depressed for my own prospects, though... if you are having so much trouble Anyhow, I wanted to write to you and tell you that you may want to upload your profile/ CV on some file sharing services such as dropbox etc and share the link as many mailing lists such as this one don't allow file attachment as yours hasn't made it through.

[AI] Artworks at Tactile painting exhibition
Hi all, it's a pleasure to share that Institute for Vision Rehabilitation, LV Prasad Eye Institute was able to organize a Tactile painting exhibition on 4th June, 2019 at its premises. The exhibit had 16 artists with vision loss displaying their artworks. They had created their paintings in last month during two workshops, the first one was all about learning to use colors, various tactile material and execution on canvas. During the second one, they got to create their paintings after coming up with interesting themes and ideas. I was so anxious how all this will turn out, but I am so glad the exhibition was a grand success. There were over 130 visitors, both sighted and visually impaired who enjoyed the artworks. Local media came down to cover the event. I am happy that this event was able to spread awareness among the community about the abilities of visually impaired. I am sharing the description and Dropbox links to images of each painting below. 1. The night beauty Painting by: Chetna Punjabi Despite the darkness in the night, the beauty of the swan on the lake fills the air with splendor.

Museums Make Art Accessible With Versions Of Photos, Paintings That Can Be
‘Seen’ By Touch
· The Times of India (Mumbai edition)
· 5 Jun 2019
·
[image: Description:
https://i.prcdn.co/img?regionKey=sGkXhKumXUUEFQPmEgfhSA%3d%3d]*A{**As
people run their hands on touchable versions of a Vietnam War photograph
(above) at the American Alliance of Museums’ trade show, metal sensors
touched off recordings to explain whose picture they were touching and what
had happened to him*
New Orleans: As people at the American Alliance of Museums’ trade show
passed their hands along the raised figures in touchable versions of a
Vietnam War photograph, small metal sensors touched off recordings to
explain whose picture they were touching and what had happened to him. At a
nearby booth was a flat reproduction of a Van Gogh self-portrait with
slightly raised, slicker areas to show both outlines and how brush strokes
swept or swirled within those outlines.
Museums are working to make their collections more accessible for people
with disabilities, said Elizabeth Merritt, vice president for strategic
foresight for the alliance, which represents museums of all sorts, from
tiny local history museums to huge zoos. Hours when lights and noise levels
are kept low for people on the autism spectrum are another example of
inclusiveness, she said, as are websites and apps designed to work with
screen readers for the blind.
Not all touchable art is hightech. The Singapore Art Museum commissioned
three artists to make touchable adaptations of their own works, and plans
more.
But tech has a big role. 3D Photoworks, of Chatham, New York, was created
by photographer John Olson to make his work and other two-dimensional art
accessible to the blind and visually handicapped. The company has digital
artists carve out contours for scanned art. After the models are created,
small metal sensors are added to trigger narrations about the work and the
figures within which they’re set.
“I’ve never seen anything like that, where it integrates touch and sound,”
said Sophie Trist, who has been blind since birth. Without audio, she said,
“I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference between a guitar and a
banjo . ... If it were only the sound, it wouldn’t be the full picture,
either”.
Other high-tech adaptations are 3D models made by the Brooklyn Museum for
the “sensory tours” it has held for years for blind or partly sighted
patrons. That museum also offers tours with headsets to amplify the guide’s
comments as well as tours in American Sign Language.
The Louvre commissioned small low-relief models of parts of its exterior
for exhibits about the museum’s own eight-century history, said Philippe
Moreau of Tactile Studio’s Canada office, which did the work.
Though created to give blind and visually handicapped people a look at flat
art, the works also offered a new view to the sighted.
