Critical Commentary

  • I’m interested in the various tools my interlocutors, particularly veterans, employ in order to render their exposure visible. Some show me the results of clinical tests and imaging procedures--x-rays, lung biopsy reports, etc.--while others, like this veteran, use maps to convey the history of their exposures. These various means of locating toxics demonstrates how various ways of capturing toxics are called for.
  • I'm interested in the way screenshots or screengrabs have been utilized--particularly in patient and advocacy communities--to "capture" digital worlds at a particular moment in time.
