The Mind’s Eye project is focused on the development of inclusive practices aiming to meaningfully engage in art people who experience sight loss, providing them with opportunities to access exhibitions independently and to form their own impressions and opinions. 

In this framework, several professionals from different disciplines, working in collaboration with the visually impaired community, are exploring alternative ways of “seeing” and developing inclusive practices that interpret the essence, the atmosphere, the form and the story behind each of the artworks. The developed practices, applied to a section of the museum’s collection and space, focus on sparking haptic and acoustic stimuli that derive from each of the artworks, to enable the unique experience of connecting with art through the “mind’s eye”.  The Mind’s Eye project will launch for the first time at the premises and the collection of MOMus Museum of Contemporary Art taking the form a series of public events, opening with an Info Day "Access & Inclusion of the Visually Impaired in Art and Museums - Exploring Ways of Visualizing Artworks". Additionally, the project entails several guided tours conducted for the public by people with visual impairment.

The main aim of the project is to provide access to people with impaired vision to cultural institutions through the use of the newly introduced 3D printing technologies. TakTil focused on the development of an inclusive practice that took the form of a sign that was installed at the entrance of Bürgerzentum Schuhfabrik e.V. combining information in four different formats, all 3D printed:

The name and keywords about the sociocultural center in relief writing, instructions, basic information and the center's name in German Braille transcription. Two QR-Codes, the first code providing instructions about the facilities of the center, where to find what inside the building. The second QR-Code carried information about the building's past history as a "Schuhfabrik". These codes, when scanned with the personal cell phone, enabled a voice recorded message with information about these two topics. Last, the sign included an orientation symbol indicating north.
