CRISTINE SUN KIM : THE ENHANCTING MUSIC OF SIGN LANGUAGE


Cristine shared us a story of American Sign Language (ASL) and her life background. ASL is came from French sign language which was brought to America during the early 1800s. and as time went by, it mixed with local signs and evolved into the language we know today. ASL is part of Cristine’s life due to she was born as a deaf. She is living in a world of sound, as if she was living in a foreign country. She knows the sound from watching people, she watch how people behave and respond to sound. she learn it and mirror that behavior. At the same time, she has learned that she creates sound, and she has seen how people respond to her.

In 2008, Cristine got an opportunity to travel to German and Berlin. At that time, sound was trending and that struck her. when she went to museum, there was no visual art there, everything was auditory. Based on that, she concludes that sound doesn't have to be something. It could be felt factually, experienced as a visual, or even as an idea. So with sound as her new art medium, she delved into the world of music. And she was surprised to see the similarities between music and ASL. For example, a musical note cannot be fully captured and expressed on paper. The, the same holds true for a concept in ASL. ASL is more like a chord, all 10 fingers need to come down simultaneously to express a clear concept or idea in ASL. If just one of those keys were to change the chord, it would create a completely different meaning. The same applies to music in regards to pitch, tone and volume. So, it's amazing to see how ASL is alive and thriving just like music is.
