The author connects reviving her piano practice after a 20-year hiatus with her deaf right ear “learning” to hear again with a cochlear implant. She touches upon parallels between the physiology of the instrument and her own body, and how they inform the inquiry for her Leonardo CripTech Incubator/Thoughtworks residency project Song Without Words.

What happens when speech synthesis applications are incompatible with certain software? This essay considers how inaccessibility within the software and programming language Max is sonically, aesthetically, culturally, and ideologically amplified through a case study of “plus noise unlock,” which is the sound made by the author’s computer when she attempts to use a screen reader within a patcher window.
当语音合成应用程序与某些软件不兼容时会发生什么？本文通过对 "加噪解锁 "的案例研究，从声音、美学、文化和意识形态等方面探讨了软件和编程语言 Max 的不可接近性是如何被放大的。"加噪解锁 "是作者的电脑在尝试使用补丁窗口中的屏幕阅读器时发出的声音。

Although the COVID-19 virus continues to circulate, there is an increasing insistence that the world “return to normal.” In this paper the authors resist this pull to normalcy and the way it devalues the knowledges, vitality, and livelihoods of disabled people. They examine the crip technoscience practices used during the 2022 digital gathering Practicing the Social: Entanglements of Art and Social Justice, situating them as examples of cultural accessibility that engage with slow technology to provoke crip(ped) ways of being in time. They argue that sustained engagement with cultural accessibility offers a different path through the pandemic, one that centers access and resists the way necropolitics devalues disabled life.

A disabled poet with Rett syndrome and a disabled performing artist with Type 1 diabetes document their 12-month artistic collaboration to illuminate ground-time: the nonverbal, expressive dynamics of embodied communication. Five “communication moments” between the artists (documented in writing, video, and photo) are described. Potentials and limitations of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies, specifically Tobii Dynavox eye-tracking technology and Communicator 5, are discussed. Additionally, the authors question the clinical diagnostic category of “intellectual disability” on the grounds of disability justice, decolonial science and philosophy. Communication-assistive technology platform developers are challenged to consider relational embodiment as the foundation of communication in design decisions regarding platform function. Technologies should facilitate improvisation and nonlinear expression—verbal and nonverbal— while maintaining freedom of non-disclosure. The right to opacity in communication is also discussed.

How Can It Not Know What It Is? is a conversation that uses the revered sci-fi film Blade Runner (1982) as a frame to explore the role of memory and affirming disabled identity in collective human experience, specifically concerning technology, the power of self-knowledge, and how these concepts intersect with capitalism and contemporary politics. In an open conversation excerpted here, the artist-authors discuss what it means to be wholly human, navigating subjects from memory to extended cognition, from national mythology to the ethics of AI.
How Can It Not Know What It Is? 是一场对话，以备受推崇的科幻电影《银翼杀手》（Blade Runner，1982 年）为框架，探讨记忆和确认残疾人身份在人类集体经历中的作用，特别是关于技术、自我认知的力量，以及这些概念如何与资本主义和当代政治交织在一起。在摘录于此的公开对话中，艺术家-作者们讨论了 "完全的人类 "意味着什么，探讨了从记忆到扩展认知、从民族神话到人工智能伦理等主题。

The author discusses their transmedia art installation, Eco-Crip: Cybotanical Futures (2021), as a site that critically explores and re-worlds the intersectional oppressions faced by disabled BIPOC individuals—centering on their own identity and complex lived experiences. Through a re-worlding lens, the artwork harnesses autoethnography, disability justice, and critical theory to confront and reclaim lifelong systemic oppression and medical surveillance, integrating computational art and digital painting to reconstruct medically quantified bioimaging and South Asian botanical archives into alternative “Cybotanical” futures. The author traces this work back to their earlier piece, ‘Keep This Leaflet. You May Need to Read It Again’ (2014), a seminal creation in their criptech journey. Eco-Crip: Cybotanical Futures embraces a DIY ethos to hack and decolonize archives and technologies, navigating multifaceted meaning-making where beauty and pain converge—mapping new frontiers of crip technoscience art that challenges various systems of power and their associated gazes.

Beginning in 2020, Kevin Gotkin spearheaded the virtual Remote Access disability nightlife events. Aimi Hamraie directs the Critical Design Lab and coined the term “crip technoscience.” Here, Hamraie interviews Gotkin about genesis of this disability arts and culture party into an ongoing experiment in critical access-making. They focus on the elements of artistic production, presentation, and exhibition that required crip technoscience interventions before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This article describes a collaboration between Laura Forlano and Itziar Barrio around a series of robotic sculptures that were created by Barrio with data from Forlano’s “smart” insulin pump and sensor system. Forlano, a Type 1 diabetic for over 10 years, has written previously about her experience as a “disabled cyborg”. As CripTech art, the robotic sculptures, discussed here as data demons, complicate and expand contemporary discourses on artificial intelligence and design.By engaging themes such as data as labor, data as material, and data as relations this piece ultimately argues that both people and technologies are disabled.

The author in collaboration with Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI), a non-profit video arts distributor and organization, partner to find ways in which videos in EAI’s collection may reflect upon themes of disability and/or engage modes of access like captioning and audio description. This research and the author’s own interest in conceptual and performance practices found in moving image works that have broadly been tethered to the word experimental, have been situated to engage with accessibility even for the works which resist and challenge the very nature of legibility. This essay acts as the authors first attempt to explore an archive to identify video artworks that represent disability (whether deliberately or not) and/or present alternative modes of access (whether deliberately or not) with the intent of laying a groundwork for curations that tap into possibilities within accessibility formats.
作者与非营利录像艺术发行商和组织 Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) 合作，寻找 EAI 收藏的录像作品反映残疾主题和/或参与字幕和音频描述等无障碍模式的方式。这项研究以及作者本人对动态影像作品中的概念和表演实践的兴趣，在很大程度上与实验性一词联系在一起，即使是那些抵制和挑战可读性本质的作品，也被定位为参与可访问性。这篇文章是作者首次尝试探索档案，以确定代表残疾（无论有意或无意）和/或呈现替代访问模式（无论有意或无意）的视频艺术作品，目的是为策展奠定基础，挖掘无障碍格式的可能性。
