SADC provided audio description for two short, open-captioned videos to accompany an essay of the same name in the Leonardo journal, Volume 57, number 2. You do not need to register to read the essay or play the videos, but other articles in the journal are locked and only available to those with accounts. Find introductory writing and introductory videos all in one place, plus links to the articles on the Leonardo site’s Special Issue Gallery.
In the journal itself, the two videos are linked in a section called “Supplementary data” at the end of the article. Here are direct links to Video 1 and Video 2. (Note, the videos play automatically when the URLs open.)
