In My Language. 8 mins 35 sec, 2007. Amanda Baggs
Summary: Amanda baggs is a young woman with autism who has created a powerful and articulate video that translates from the world of environmental interacting to the neurotylic form of speech and perception. As well as a stunning view into how she experiences andmakes sense or the world, it's also a forceful philosophical argument concerning how the mainstream usersyanfs people who don't think or communicate in a conventional way. Preesumably speech-less (either through choice or development), Bagga communicates to the viewer using a voice synthesizer and on-screen text. A profound and exciting insight into an alternative humanity.
Baggs describes the work like this: "The first part is in my "native language," and then the second part provides a translation of Bagg's thoughts towards what constitutes thought, intelligence( personhood, language, and communication, and what does not.
