Blimey!, which literally means "God blind me", is an expression of surprise and/or alarm.
Those who took part in this project were offered blindfolding goggles and invited to take a walk in the city, relying on a partner for help.
How does the body intervene in the mapping of urban space once it is deprived of one of its senses? Would we ask our partner to replace our sight with a verbal description or would we silence her/him while lingering in a "mutilated" perception and enjoying it?
Idein, eidos, idea: the word “idea”, in its Greek genealogy, relates seeing to knowing. But what kind of knowledge comes through the eye? Is it trustworthy on the backdrop of generalized simulation?
Seeing without believing, believing without seeing. Which of our senses do we believe the most?
