TED, please note that when you're filming someone who is using a visual language, don't cut to the Interpreter or the audience. As someone who is Deaf and wants to "hear" the talk for myself rather than reading the subtitles, I really would have appreciated being able to see a thumbnail of the speaker in the corner, or something like that, when cutting to different angles. Thanks!

I hated that just when she was trying to teach me three signs, they cut away for each of the three! I had no idea what the correct form was supposed to be. But yes, for a sign language talk, I appreciate knowing that the interpreter is there and what they look like, and I appreciate knowing that the audience is learning along, but don't let that interrupt the most important visual. Use an inset or a side-by-side or something. The talk itself should go seamlessly from start to finish, just like the audio in most talks!

alex abrams asl truly is a very beautiful language. My love for asl started when I was young and had a friend that was deaf, and she had an interpreter with her majority of the time, but sometimes she wasnt there so we just wrote back and forth, until one day, I went up to her and fingerspelled "hi lily" and I remember how happy she got and ever since then, ive been learning more and more and I even catch myself signing in just normally conversations without even realizing it

@Birdie Perchy It is not an issue about "condemning" her or anything like that. It is just a respectful disagreement in how ASL could be written. Currently there is no agreed consensus of how sign language should be written. This is because of how complex the language is. There are 5 things that make up a sign 1) Handshape, 2) Hand Direction, 3) Palm Orientation, 4) Movement and 5) Facile expression. Even the slightest change to anyone of these parts of a sign changes the meaning entirely. There have been many attempts to create a written format but each attempt has had to many flaws to be a viable method of creating a written format.

+Kassidar that would be an awesome idea. But probably people will say it's too complicated for the children. But even worse they will say that they feel weird if their children learn it... like it's not normal to learn sign language because deaf people are not normal... I hate all this talking abut not normal... It's just unneccessary... I mean what is normal then? Instead of investing our time in saying that something is not normal we could just be like, wow, that's cool. Something new I haven't heard of, something special. Why see something different as weird and bad if we can see it as something good and inspireing? I wish for a more open world. And i trie to do my best to spread that individuality and being different is a good thing.

I'm in training to be a primary school teacher and or been learning sign language for like 2 years now and I think it's a very rewarding experience. I think it should be made compulsory for teachers to have a basic knowledge of sign language. It's phenomenal how much you see yourself change with sign language. You learn to 'look' and 'listen' instead of constant talking. You learn how to pay extremely well attention to the person speaking or signing. It's really amazing, I really recommend it for anyone who's think of doing it.

It's not really got much to do with prejudice against deaf people, it's a cost/benefit thing.

After 55 years in music and that I play 11 instruments as well as have worked in major studios, I now understand why people tell me that when they watch my fingers or arms, it is like I am painting a picture for them. Throat cancer has robbed me of much of my hearing because the radiation left my ear drums full of liquid and had to be cut! Ouch! I have been deaf for two years and even now that the plugs came out, I still don't hear right so ASL is used by certain clerks who know it at various store I go to. In one way I am sorry to have gone through the cancer experience but in another way feel so blessed that it opened me up to a whole wonderful community of people that most will never be blessed by and enjoy their variation on life as this wonderful young lady here.

This speech has not only empowered me threw motivation, but also for music, I'm thinking about it better. My cousin was born deaf, he was a bit crazy but I still love him; now it has been a year since I've last seen him and this gave me more motivation for school, home, learning ASL and a better love and understanding for music and English and the writing. And as of art it has also gave me a meaning, although I'm in 6th grade I can understand better because of what I've seen before and because I think for the future and what that is going to be like. This person is so amazing in words and emotion it almost makes it seem as if she were so close to you but so far away, I hope this comment gave you motivation to strive to better things. The funny thing is that my violin that I ordered came today. Hope you all a good future a and good luck in the present.

I was introduced to Christine Sun Kim’s artwork through my American Deaf Culture class. At first I didn’t understand the “p-tree” piece, but now it makes so much sense! I never thought of silence as something visual, but that’s probably the closest interpretation I can think of. Deaf Art and De’VIA (Deaf View Image Art) are some of my favorites. Chuck Baird and Betty Miller are really powerful Deaf artists as well.

The speech is truly impactful. When I initially came across Christine's work, and saw those signs displaying "a permanent tourist in a foreign language," it immediately resonated with me and countless other students studying abroad, all of us grappling with feelings of isolation and helplessness. However, witnessing how Christine skillfully interacts with sound adds a deeper layer of emotion to those words. It highlights that languages, regardless of whether they contain "sound" or not, serve as nods that forge connections between individuals. "And you never know, you might just fall in love with us."

Imagine “limiting” or monitoring/controlling your behaviour (“don’t slam the cupboard door”, “don’t eat too loudly”) to appease a sense that you yourself don’t even experience. It’s like everyone else has the ability to fly but you can’t and you’re told not to do certain things, things that do not affect you at all, for the benefit of those who can fly. That would be so frustrating, not to mention worrying if you’re doing one of the things you ‘shouldn’t’ do. I love these videos that give us a glimpse of life from another perspective.

I loved this. I've been learning ASL on and off for abour 4 years now and I'm happy about being able to understand most of what she was signing before the interpreter traduced it even though I have never taken an official class

ASL is more like an Awesome Performance, i mean you automatically See The persons personallity through sighning with them 😍 this is so much nicer than talking aloud, i mean you are surpressing youre emotions so much more when you speak aloudly . But with ASL it is needed to Show emotions , or Else youre Not able to communicate properly 🤗

ive always thought learning asl would be useful and an interesting learning experience, but ive never had a true interest in actually pursuing it. watching this really makes me want to, though! that "falling in love, colonization, and enlightenment" bit kind of opened my mind to how elaborate and beautiful it can be.

This is cool...I started learning sign language in high school and as an artist I tend to think in pictures but my class notes sometimes looked like this and still do when I use short hand. When I write world I almost always draw a w with a circle around it for the sign.

wow!!! That's so cool, I was introduced to sign language through music too...I first learned to sign to songs in church and it got so bad that I would practice while listening to music and driving lol oups...Yes, I agree it is incredibly poetic...There have been times where I have signed as a performance art and it really is almost like dancing. I absolutely love to dance and people used to think I was drunk but realized I was drinking water 95% of the time but if I do have a drink I and there is good music rather than dancing I will start signing the words. Lol it's strange but really funny. What are examples of rhyming signs? I would love to chat more about this. Do you make videos or use social media?

I have a form of synaesthesia where I hear motion. Because I'm so used to tuning out gesticulations, I didn't realize I could hear her signing until she brought it to my attention! When I listen to it with the sound turned off, I realize that what she was signing could easily be turned into a tune for the hearing. Too bad I'm not a composer!
