This article is about an art gallery that lets blind people touch the sculptures to experience the art. This is a really cool idea. I think I'd like to go there. The photo shows a guy who isn't blind wearing a blindfold so he can experience it like the blind people. I think I would try that if I went. I know art can be heard (music) or seen (Stage, Screen, Canvas). I've never thought about tactile art, but I'm sure it can be art. Some would say a finely crafted meal could be taste art or a well made scented candle can be smell art. So, yes, art can possess all five senses. The lick-able wall paper from Willy Wonka comes to mind. It's beautifully designed, tastes good, I imagine that it would be scented like it's flavor...now if they embossed it and had sound effects it could be a five sensory art...just a thought.
