Drawing on his own experience as a pyrotechnician with sight-loss, Collin will explore how to translate the light of fireworks across senses to make it accessible through touch, description, and sight.<\/p>\n<p>Collin will introduce his \u201cFingerworks for Fireworks\u201d tactile technique for describing fireworks to members of the blind\/low vision community by \u201cdrawing\u201d their light-emitting star trajectories onto the backs of consenting participants. Collin uses this technique in designing and choreographing his own pyro-musical firework displays.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we will explore resonance (tingles\/goosebumps) in response to art and its implications as a creative means for access and wayfinding in the arts. This presentation invites participants to consider how multisensory accessibility can provide meaningful pathways for inclusion in public displays of art, whether pyrotechnics, dance, or other dynamic artforms.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li>Duration : 1 hour<\/li>\n<li>Free entry &#8211; no reservation required<\/li>\n<li>MAI Gallery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":19358,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-19356","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","season-25-26-en","event-category-conferences-talks","event-program-public-plus"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Wayfinding into the Light: Resonance And Multi-Sensory Access in the Pyrotechnic arts &mdash; MAI | Montr\u00e9al, arts interculturels<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/m-a-i.qc.ca\/en\/event\/pyrotechnic-arts\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Wayfinding into the Light: Resonance And Multi-Sensory Access in the Pyrotechnic arts &mdash; MAI | Montr\u00e9al, arts interculturels\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Join artist Collin van Uchelen for a public presentation of his innovative practices in the pyrotechnic arts.
