Dysfluency Circuit

About this title

Human speech originates in neurological pathways deep within the brain, linking motor control centres to muscles and airways resulting in spoken language. Certain configurations of this system result in dysfluency, a disrupted flow of speech, commonly referred to as stuttering. Utilizing neural mapping, scans of decomposing film and bare electrical signals from analog video equipment, Dysfluency Circuit posits a neurological landscape of the stutterer, an internal physicality at odds with the ableist urgency of everyday conversation and the capitalist economy.
