Utopian Vision Site-specific installation, Milton Keynes, 2007 How would public transport be different if it was designed by people with disabilities? This project imagines a utopia of public transport in the not-too-distant future, where everyone benefits. I worked with a group of visually-impaired people, to explore their sensitivity to the problems with the current public transport system. Participants used sound recording equipment as a research tool. Together with creativity, they have designed new models for public transport that benefit everyone. A site-specific audio installation was created for the Midsummer Place shopping centre in Milton Keynes.
