CHRISTINE SUN KIM

During the summer of 2011, I produced a series of study drawings by appropriating notational elements from three different systems and one language—graphic notation, musical notation, American Sign Language (ASL), and ASL "Glossing"—to reinvent a new syntax and structure for my compositions. Like sound, ASL cannot be captured on paper; thus, I combined these various systems in an attempt to open up a new space of authority/ownership and rearrange hierarchies of information.

The last two were composed in April of 2012 for a sound+art festival in Trier, Germany.
