The visual magic of comics

Comics are more than ink and panels; they are a blend of art, storytelling, and technology that channels vision into unique experiences. Inspired by a family story of blindness and scientific curiosity, the speaker explores how comics can evolve beyond print. The concept of the 'infinite canvas' unlocks comics’ ability to sprawl in space and time across digital media.
