In QueerAble in/stabilities other embodiments are trans*lated into sound through a wireless electro-acoustic interface assembled to the body. The upright posture movement is trans*formed into a continuous spiraling motion.
QueerAble is an inquiry into notions of encountering and systemic surveillance. Subjectivities undergo processes of in/stability with the norm body, the norm movement, the norm behaviour, the norm morals (…) — a process continuously reinforced by the surveillance of the gaze. Committing to the vulnerability of this conflict can potentially de/stabilise hegemonic narratives.
