Introduction
i-Map is an online art resource designed for visually impaired
people with a general interest in art, art teachers and their visually impaired
pupils. It incorporates text, audio, image enhancement and deconstruction, animation
and raised images. Rather than examining the entire artwork at once, i-Map introduces
detail in a carefully planned sequence, gradually building towards an understanding
of the work as a whole. The initial phase of i-Map launched in 2002 focused on
four pairs of works by Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. It explored their artistic
innovations, influences and motivations, as well as some of the key concepts in
modern art. The second phase, The Everyday Transformed, focuses on six
new works from Tate’s Collection by artists who all share an interest in
the material reality of everyday life and includes an exploration of movements
such as Surrealism, Dada, Futurism, Pop Art and Rayonism.
