(Speakers and Signers) Keth Doane: Cycling Sensations -- reacting to the environment in motion
A dialog (in speech and sign) between artists, designers, scientists, students,
speakers, and signers. Participants touch on the range of human experience including
deafness, and on acoustical engineering, especially resonance and sonic vibrations. All
presentations are interpreted in American Sign Language.
At the center of the conference is a specially-built raised floor, designed to be
activated with low-frequency vibration. By sitting, standing, lying on the floor,
hearing and deaf participants are able to experience sound through their bodies. During
the conference, presenters use the floor as a vehicle for tactile communication.
