The Vanishing Point tells the story of Christopher Bailey's journey into blindness, and what he learned about perception, empathy, and the healing power of the arts.. The Vanishing Point is both a personal story and a journey across the history of humanity’s quest for sense-making, from our hunter gatherer days, through modern times, and to the recent discoveries in neurology which are beginning to shed light on the science behind deep aesthetic experiences and their healing power. At times harrowing, fascinating, funny, and moving, this event may well change the way you see the world.
