Art and Design

Through the tactile color compass, visually impaired and blind people can experience art. Thanks to a spectrum of our different soft and hard surfaces that represent colors, we achieve a deeper perception of visual art.

The original is provided with a simplified tactile surface so that sighted and non-sighted people can view the work together. At the same time, an audio-assisted description of the picture rounds off the shared experience.

We are happy to offer collaboration with art historians. In our simplified presentations, we pay special attention to the distance between color information and a simple design without overloading. Our motto is: as much as necessary, as little - but rich in contrast - as possible.

For sighted people, too, feeling colors can be an exciting new approach to the world of art.

Together with our partners, we offer the complete implementation - from the idea to the finished tactile artwork. Our portfolio also includes advice on replicas and 3D printing processes.

All models are reproducible and washable.

"Hello, I'm Madita and I love art!" greets Madita the cat in the first haptic children's museum book developed by TAKTILES.  Following a tactile thread in the book with listening stations, she takes us to a painting by the artist Carl Georg Schumacher, which is exhibited in the Kunstforum Ostdeutsche Galerie Ostbayern. TAKTILES translated the artwork "Elblandschaft an der Porta Bohemica bei Leitmeritz in Böhmen" (Elbe Landscape at the Porta Bohemica near Leitmeritz in Bohemia) into an art experience for touching, smelling and hearing. Thus, in cooperation with museum educators, artists, the blind experts Manuela and Madita Schemm and the Media Centre Regensburger Land, an artwork was created which already provides younger people with inclusive access to the world of museums.
