Normal Now! Art and Dis/ability in a Digital World In the present paper, the focus is brought on Shapereader’s early implementation and the first systematic attempt to address the sense of touch in the production of comics. Arctic Circle is a tactile novel, presented as a museum installation including several work-specific communication boards designed both for sighted and visually impaired visitors. I will walk through some of the strategies used to translate concepts and elementary semantic features into haptic formations and explore how meaning signification proceeds through clustering and the use of productive chains of signifiers that ultimately propel the text of Arctic Circle to a structural instability. The research was conducted during the artist’s residency at the Onassis Labs in Athens. https://www.su.se/polopoly_fs/1.523970.1603792507!/menu/standard/file/Normal%20Now%20Art%20and%20Disability%20in%20a%20Digital%20World.pdf
