Welcome to Shop in the Dark, a speculative world where you can see nothing. Today I bring to you; The Dark supermarket; where you will experience shopping in the dark through your personal perception of sound. While you shop, I am asking you to write your grocery list from the sounds you hear.
Shop in the Dark is offering you a journey through soundscape where a sound of spreading jam on toast, squeezing a wet cloth or spray and wipe is bring to light. Speculating an acoustic (way/appliance) aid to support visually impair visual perception and spatial navigation.
Sound is an powerful element that could draw or inform one about space and environment. It is interesting to explore people different interpretation of each sound. For one sound, it can rise different perception from people, (looking at a shopping list on the person next to you, you may not have to same list) which there is no right or wrong. It is personal perception. You might not even recognize any of the product soundscape which is the reason of this project is explore the sound of the product to bring to light as commonly speculating to aid for visually impaired.
