The VESM, or Voluntary Extinction of Sight Movement, is more than just a movement: it is an international community of conscious individuals who have chosen to radically free themselves from the oppressive reign of the image. We deeply believe that sight, traditionally considered precious and indispensable, is in fact a subtle constraint imposed by a society dominated by the visual.
Within the VESM, we assert that seeing limits our true ability to feel and understand the world.

By voluntarily choosing visual extinction, our members rediscover authentic perception, deep inner listening, and heightened awareness of their surroundings. Behind this approach lies a revolutionary aspiration: to dismantle the tyranny of appearance and restore direct experience—one unmediated by the constant filter of vision. This sensory revelation unveils a hidden reality, where touch, hearing, smell, and taste become the new guides to a life finally fully lived.
