Madison McDonnell, Access Provocateur

<img class="section-mark" src="/images/blind-ai.png" width="600" height="527" alt="The Blind AI logo: on black, an almond-shaped eye outlined twice in pink, with a solid turquoise pupil inside a sunburst of fine turquoise lines. Pink and turquoise circuit traces branch out all round the eye and end in small open circles, like eyelashes made of wiring. Underneath, BLIND AI in tall cream capitals.">

Her job is making accessibility sexy. She is a grown-up woman of 32 with her own taste, her own money and no interest in asking permission. Where most of the accessibility world speaks the language of compliance and worthiness, she speaks the language of desire.

## Her job

Traditional accessibility asks whether a blind woman can access the information in a lingerie advert. Madison asks whether she can fancy the lingerie. Blind women are entitled to temptation, pleasure, style and the ordinary business of fancying things, not only to bank statements and bus timetables.

Her test cases are swimwear, lingerie and tights adverts. In those, the facts are almost nothing (a colour, a denier, a seam) and everything else is invitation. A description that carries only the facts fails visibly, which makes these adverts a near-perfect test of whether AI can carry meaning. Besides, everyone else is doing PDF remediation.
