DESCRIPTION:For March's SciScreen event\, in conjunction with Cambridge Sc
 ience Festival\, Dr Louise Fryer\, UCL\, introduces this special screening
  with an talk discussing the psychology of immersion in audio-visual media
 \, as it relates to viewers with sensory impairment. Tickets are on-sale n
 ow.\n\nWhen writer and theologian John Hull went blind in 1983\, he began 
 keeping an audiocassette diary of his daily life. When it was published in
  1990\, Oliver Sacks described it as 'the most extraordinary\, precise\, d
 eep and beautiful account of blindness'. Using total access to the recordi
 ngs\, Notes on Blindness is an ever-evolving artistic project that has inc
 luded a short film and an engrossing VR experience. Dubbing actors with th
 e recorded voice of Hull\, its exploration of how dreams\, memories and im
 agination are impacted by a lack of sight\, this is a formally extraordina
 ry insight into a hidden interior world.
