Open Caption was part of a juried installation on the subject of inclusivity. My work communicates its message in fingerspelling and Braille, giving typical viewers the experience of a communication barrier, as those with hearing and vision differences encounter regularly. During the receptions, the cell phone provided live captioning, converting spoken interaction into inclusive communication. The show was supported by the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles, Audubon Center at Debs Park, and Dearantler.
