Wherever he travels, Michael Nye carries an antique 8x10 camera and a
voice recorder. He has been aptly described by National Public Radio as
"part reporter and part anthropologist". His projects have taken him to
Iraq during the first Gulf War, refugee camps in Palestine, as well as
Siberia, China, Morocco, and Mexico. His documentaries, photography and
audio exhibitions, "Children of Children -- Teenage Pregnancy," "Fine
Line -- Mental Health/Mental Illness," and "About Hunger &
Resilience" have traveled to more than 150 cities across the United
States. His newest exhibit is called "My Heart Is Not Blind -- About
Blindness and Perception," based on seven years of listening to men and
women who are blind and visually impaired. Michael explores how
perception and adaptation are deeper than we can imagine, and much more
mysterious. "How does anyone, blind or sighted understand the world
outside themselves?These conversations focus on the deep and shifting
pools of perception and the mystery of transformation. Our other senses,
separate from sight, have their own wisdom."
