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.
