See—Sign | See—Saw is an English to sign language printmaking device. A collaboration with Amy Auman, this printmaking see-saw takes a playground staple and creates a fun, playful, learning experience. It allows the user to learn a printmaking technique while simultaneously being introduced to sign language. See—Sign | See—Saw, acts not only as an open system for communication but also as an open system for learning.
The user inputs the Roman characters into the 3x4 printing grid to set a message. The user then applies pressure to the see-saw resulting in a translation of the Roman text into sign language. This experiential prototype is meant to create awareness for surrounding deaf communities. Once placed in a community with auditorial disabilities this devices acts as a tool to learn and communicate with other members of the community while spreading awareness of the disabilities present in that community. See—Sign | See—Saw provides access to free communal learning experiences while strengthening and enriching the community.
Installation date: October, 9th 2018
Location: Downtown Providence, Market Square
