In her talk Title Zero (a Deaf English loanword for “no title”), Berlin-based artist Christine Sun Kim will share multiple projects that visualize, critique, and contextualize how sound operates in her life and work, as well as its relationship to her Deaf and hearing collaborators, family, and friends.

Kim’s work examines sound and language via musical notations, poetic sound captions from film clips, pie chart drawings, as well as American Sign Language in all its complexities. Her drawings of Deaf rage and other works respond to all-too-frequent experiences of discrimination and inaccessibility and offer profound and humorous insights into issues of social justice and the human condition.
