A spectator.
A sound interpretation.
This is a memory of possibilities.
What is sound interpretation?
Sound is vibration. Organic, natural and man-made (artificial) are interconnected in their own source of sound system. For instance, our bodies, organs, lips, bones, and blood vessels and cells functioning as a organic matter to set a daily reminder.
We can heal or colonize from sound. Your choice.
Each day, we travel by vibration and sound. In this world, we learned to adapt through assimilation by focusing only hearing and speech and not rely other human instincts from five senses with hear, touch, taste, vision, or smell as importance.
If we led a world differently, we would be self-aware with the world and be connected with our bodies consciously and mindfully.
This involves inner creativity and outer creativity to expand breaking down complex ideas into individual parts and understanding their relationships as a whole. When we are fully engaged and participate to listening, our process of sound interpretation works is to observe and feel being listened in essence to becoming like a woven yarnball threading with tuning fork.

First Spectator
I grew up in-between worlds. I lost my hearing world to engage on natural sound at age 18.
My journey dynamically transitioned organic to artifical sound experience traveling into different sounds and different forms.
I chose to opt-out in artifical sound downloads. My creativity stems from re-wiring my memories woven by writing poetries, video logs and design animations to engage globally aligned. It made me think about Sound Description (NOISE), Creative Caption (Ben Glover), Flight Manifesto (Robert Yerachmiel Sniderman, Cascadia Deaf Nation, Dirar Kalash and Samara Hayley Steele) and Rewriting Closed captions (Christine Sun Kim).
I want to create a open source community collaborative design project. While we may believe that creativity comes from our unique talents and perspectives, creativity spans various disciplines and fuels our creative process. However, it has also contributed to chaos associated with white supremacy, hearing supremacy, and sound colonialism. Not all sounds are negative, and creativity is not confined to a single discipline.
Sound has a dual nature, impacting our cultures, languages, and systems on a conscious level. Additionally, it can be utilized to exert power and create violence, essentially weaponizing sound as a form of invasion - a concept known as sound colonialism.
I have observed some works replicate linear methods to describe sound through spoken language for broadcast captioning. However, sound is complex and shaped by the world of hearing, making it difficult to understand and share.
What if we had a chance to colloborate for one moment without being led in disempowerment?
How does a Deaf person describes sound and human consciousness like for them?
I challenge people to sit and feel about sound as an interpretation rather than a translation.
For the first time, I did provided a sound interpretation voluntarily on my own as a experiment during The Play Field Concert (July 23, 2023), The Current Symposium.
