ART GALLERY NGV IN MY NEW WHEELCHAIR

ART GALLERY 07.07.2014

I recently got a new wheelchair that does amazing things compared to my previous one. This one elevated by 30 cms in other word the seat goes up in the seated position. It tilts and each wheel works individually like a spiders legs. However the feature I am most interested in at the moment is the fact that it goes up.

My idea is to show people as well as enjoy it, the difference in how people at wheelchair height see things and the same view from the elevated position.

My first project and first day outside in the chair was to go to the art gallery. I thought that it'd be fun to show what I see at wheelchair height and then how different it can be at the higher level.

These photo's and the small YouTube clips show what the difference can be like. Enjoy.

These photos were taken as before shots (at the lower height, and then the after shot, the higher height in the chair).

You can see what a difference it makes in being able to see the exhibits in such a different way.
