I have been contacted by an Italian scientist in the Dipartmento Di Psicologia, Sapienza, Universita di Roma to do some diagrams for research in relation to the “representation of the body in spinal cord patients”.
Very interesting. I’m up for the challenge. Just awaiting further instruction.

Creating tactile project number 3. This project has been deemed “impossible to translate” by a few vision impaired / blind proofreaders I have discussed it with. I’m curious if I can pull it off.

I was at a gas station in L.A. yesterday and managed to pick this up; TIME Magazine, dated Jan. 17, 2011.
Classic quote (but I’ve never called this work ‘porn’).

So I got out of bed yesterday morning after a full 4 hours of sleep, pumped myself full of coffee by 8:57 am, and the phone never rang for the 9am interview with W Radio – Bogota, Colombia. Maybe they meant next Saturday?
Tomorrow morning tactile atelier bookmark will be discussed on/for AOL news.
Fingers crossed.

Watched CBS show; The Doctors, last Friday (December 3, 2010), and saw at least one fine minute dedicated to tactile mind.
Here is the show synopsis:
Blind Passion
Tactile Mind, created by Lisa Murphy, is a book comprised of explicit text and raised pictures of naked men and women, designed to be enjoyed by the blind and visually impaired.

Supposedly the media reports surrounding my book had made it to the front lines in Afghanistan – to the Canadian troops.
Good. Regardless of what the article(s) said, I hope it lightened up somebody(s) day.

Why did I take pictures of women in high-heeled shoes and lingerie, and sculpt these images into a second project? Because it’s beautiful imagery. It’s imagery that’s real in a sighted world. When one blind proofreader ‘saw’ the picture of the high-heeled shoes, he/she couldn’t believe that this footwear actually exists. Same with the underwire bra. I find it so amazing that items and images that are a part of day to day living for those of us with sight, have not yet been invented for those who cannot see.

tactile mind the book will be featured for a minute, maybe two, this Friday, December 3 on ‘The Doctors’. I’m stoked; I receive an end of show credit for this! The producers from CBS whom I dealt with were great. The book got stuck in customs (in Milwaukee?) and didn’t make it to the taping on time, so I’m curious to see how imagery was put together. Sure it will be amazing-
