Welcome to the CharliVerse

If you’ve found your way here via different pages, names, or voices, this post is your map.

There is one human through-line behind all of this: me — Charli-Jo, often posting simply as Charli. Everything else you see sits around that centre.

What you’re looking at is a creative and research ecosystem, not a single brand and not a role-play. Some parts are fully real. Some are deliberately speculative. Some are artistic lenses used to explore ideas in public.

Here’s how to read it.

The Blind AI
This is the publishing and research umbrella. It’s the home for work exploring AI, perception, and accessibility — led by lived experience, not abstract theory.

Through the AIs of the Blind
This is the flagship newsletter and ongoing body of work. It sometimes presents itself as a “real/fake” design agency. That’s intentional. It’s a piece of design fiction: a studio that exists to think, test, and publish — and which may become something more formal over time.

Carrados
A future-facing concept. Not active, not selling services, not pretending to be a company. A name on the shelf for work that may one day go professional.

Cass Flux (Allegedly)
An artistic persona. Described, accurately, as “a music video you can’t see.” Cass exists to explore culture, media, and perception sideways — not to impersonate a real person.

Vibe / Vibe Access / Sight as a Service
These were working ideas and languages that did useful work in a particular moment. Some are fading, some are being retired, some may echo forward. That’s normal. Ideas have seasons.

Why so many names?
Because different kinds of thinking need different voices. This isn’t about hiding authorship or manufacturing authority. It’s about reducing cognitive load and letting ideas breathe.

Nothing here is a scam.
Nothing here is an institution it isn’t.
Nothing is being sold under false pretences.

This is thinking-in-public about technology, accessibility, culture, and the future — sometimes serious, sometimes playful, always labelled once you know how to read the signs.

If you’re here to explore, question, or just quietly observe: welcome.
If you’re here for a single logo and a fixed tone, you may occasionally feel lost — but that, too, is part of the experiment.
