> Art Interactions: I=YOU=ME
>
> Art Interactions: I=YOU=ME is a multidiciplinary project curated

> Jeon, which examines social issues regrading the concept of
> disability.
> Through the exploration of participatory art activities, the
> project
> interconnects the awareness of persons with and without
> disabilities, and re-
> examines the perceived social distinctions between them.
>
> Featuring Michael Erzen, Ium, Byeong Sam Jeon, Kiyoun Kim, Trina
> Nahm-Mijo,
> Monica Ong, Victoria Scott, Kathryn Snell, and Mariya Strauss.

> Miscommunication addresses the issue of language barrier. To

> experience communication barriers with one another. This raises
> an important
> question: How can we fully understand each other? By exploring
> the connection
> between movement and sound, meaning and perception, this piece
> allows
> participants to indirectly experience the communication barrier
> through the
> chaos of sound and language.
