Navigating the Archive

Where to start

This archive contains a range of accessible multimedia that represents the processes, outcomes and experiences of five artists in residence at the CripTech Incubator. There is a lot to explore, so where should you begin?

Starting point

If you're new to the CripTech Incubator, we recommend starting by exploring the E.A.A.T. — Experiments in Art, Access and Technology — exhibit page. This represents the culminating exhibit for the residency program that took place at the Beall Center for Art & Technology at U.C. Irvine (Sept 2023-Jan 2024). Starting here will give you a sense of E.A.A.T. as a show and the individual artists' work.

Artist processes

Each of the artists also have an exhibit page. This curates their process artefacts, reflections and interviews to provide access to how they worked and their experiences within the CripTech artist residency and Incubator. You can view pages for:

  • Josephine Sales works through moving image, sculpture, text, and sound proposing questions, yearnings and learnings on disability, debility, dependency, and disablement. The exhibit page centers on Total Running Time, an installation comprised of four distinct works.
  • Olivia Ting is a hard of hearing visual artist, designer, photographer, video projectionist, and pianist Song Without Words. An immersive multi-channel projection, Song Without Words renders the gestural continuities between piano, musical conducting and sign language to redefine the phenomenological experience of listening.
  • Andy Slater is a blind Chicago-based media artist, writer, performer, and Disability advocate. In Unseen Sound, Andy Slater uses spatial audio as a wayfinding tool to remap and reorient lived experiences of real and virtual space.

Browsable archive

Alternatively, you might start with the “Browse” section where you can move through the raw materials of the collection. In the Browse view, you can examine the ‘atoms’ of process, products and reflections that make up this archive. You can also filtered, sort and search the archive for things of interest to you.

This archive is developed with Wax, a minimal computing project for producing digital exhibitions focused on longevity, low costs, and flexibility. We have also worked to meet the highest standards of accessibility.
