about
Using traditional braille printing technology, Schwittlick transforms the scientists' mouse movements into tactile compositions through the mechanical precision of the braille embosser - typically used for transcribing text - which here becomes a tool for rendering digital gestures into a haptic format, creating works that cannot be seen but touched. Accompanying each braille work is a digital counterpart where source code preserves the exact instructions sent to the braille machines first developed in the 1980s.
