I am interested in the ephemeral conditions of communication and the connections and ruptures that result from them. As part of my work, I often propose visual approaches such as video and drawing, as well as quasi-disciplinary approaches that mobilize text and diagrams.
For example, in the last few years I have been captivated by the problem of testimony, belief, and inference, since it is inextricably linked to the problem of identification, which is somewhat permanently incomplete in listening. Would you believe someone who claims to hear RF signals that are not within the audible frequencies of normal human hearing? Because we can't hear what she hear, we cannot say if she's saying the truth. Even the vast majority of people without hearing impairments use their best guess to identify what have just happened in the darkness. That guess may prove to be spot-on, but depending on the circumstances, that validation may be deferred for an indefinite period of time.
So the expectations of people who hear strange sounds may be an inference that has yet to be validated, in the so called real world.
