Blind users perspective on Beauty? (self.Blind)
submitted by menchacalaka
Hi! Mi name is Sebastian. Currently I'm working at an art residency program with a very specific subject. I wanted to ask blind people and blind online users what they think beauty is? What is beauty for the blind community or how do you feel about it personally? What do you relate beauty to? An old memory or a particular experience? I would love to read any stories you have or opinions about the subject.

I'm also totally blind. I agree, I really don't care about anything visual. However certain sounds are beautiful to me. The sound of a bird flapping it's wings is absolutely wonderful. I also like simple, clean, online services. I accessed this from an RSS reader. I enjoy using RsS because it's simple to use, and it serves it's purpose well.

I am totally blind and have always been. So I have no attraction to anything visually.

SO what do I find beautiful?
My wife's body, from a tactile perspective.
Music, especially certain classical, choral or otherwise harmonious works.
Poetry or prose with that hard-to-define quality that really calls to me.
Clean computer code, algorithms written well, serving their purpose properly.
Collections of things well-organised: book or music collections, etc.
Food, particularly meals juxtaposing flavour or texture.
The pure emptiness and possibility offered by a blank document to write in, an empty project to code, or a clean countertop to prepair food.
