You hear - I see (2003, 2 channel video, typographic set, performance)
How would a blind person communicate with a deaf-mute person? Think about it...
This special character set bridges the communication gap, not only between the blind and deaf-mute but also between the disabled and the general audience. A language system, based on couple-dance, where every word is performed by a "speaker" and followed by a guided "listener".
