Blind Ant
A small black ant carrying a bright shard of glass across a dark surface.
The fragment reflects light like a signal beacon.
The ant appears small but purposeful, suggesting persistence and the quiet movement of ideas.
The practice
Blind Ant is a design fiction practice. It brings together generative AI, accessibility knowledge and lived blindness, and makes things you can read, hear and look at.
Almost every picture here is drawn in code from its description. A few were made with an image generator; each of those says so on its label, and they will be redrawn in time. Either way, the description comes first and is always true. The logo above has never been drawn at all.
