“Kia ora, my name is Ari Kerssens. I live in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland.) I am a creative weird dude, and I am blind. I have a genetic condition that is degenerative, so, when I watch a screen over long periods of time, I get really bad eye strain – I can get headaches and all sorts of bad things.”

“How did I find out about audio description? I have no idea, but it’s incredibly helpful – it’s really groovy. It’s a similar stream of information – it’s just instead of a visual one, it’s an audio one. It’s much more interesting from an engagement perspective, just to explain the concept, and the meaning and the relevance.”
