<ThisAbility> is an international new media art exhibition examining themes of human capability through creative transition of the senses. The exhibition features twenty one interactive electronic artworks mainly including: a digital musical instrument played by facial gestures; a visual block transforming Braille into sound; and a table converting your touch into light. Just as all people have distinct figures, appearances and characteristics that which we may call “disability” is but a difference, not a defect. This exhibition presents artworks that invite a reappraisal of disability. Visitors enjoy creative alterations of auditory, visual, and tactile sensations that may cause them to question themselves; in the process, they may also re-examine bases of their social judgments. These artworks can spark revelations that break social prejudice and affirm difference. Beyond pure expression, art may also stimulate our imagination and contribute to extending our frame of thought. We hope that the exhibition <ThisAbility> may help to roll back outdated notions of 'disability' in society that we may embrace our diversity and understand each other through the heart.
