"With VRS, the hearing and deaf can be connected in the natural language of both parties, and it is a very effective way to communicate emotions since the interpreter emotes.... To communicate the emotions you hear in a person's voice, the interpreter signs in a certain way to a deaf person."
reminded me of alien staff
"The Alien Staff is a portable form of public-address equipment and cultural network for individuals and groups of immigrants. It is an instrument that gives the singular operator-immigrant a chance to "address" directly anyone in the city who may be attracted by the symbolic form of the equipment, by the character of the "broadcast" program, and by the live presence and performance of its owner."
and also of Claude Lelouch segment in 9'11'01 about a deaf woman who writes a letter while the tv, behind her, broadcasts the 911 atacks.
