I blindfolded myself for three days to enjoy art again

Too much looking had left Isaac Hodgson unable to see. He was going to around five galleries a week, scrolling past paintings daily. He’d hit peak art fatigue.

Let’s be real, humans weren’t built to process this much visual noise. So Isaac Hodgson did the only logical thing: he blindfolded himself for 3 days straight. Inspired by the TikTok-trending “darkness retreats” (in which rich people cry at trees) he hoped he could reset his relationship with art by ultimately removing the blindfold in front of a single painting.
