ASL Abstract Motion

Artist: Jon Savage
Medium: Video Art Installation
Duration: 28 minutes
Format: Dual-channel projection on two 120″ screens, bent at a 90-degree angle like an open book

Description

ASL Abstract Motion is an immersive video installation presented across two facing screens, creating the effect of an open book. The background: a single, uninterrupted freeway drive—symbolizing life’s continuous forward motion—shifting subtly between black & white and color.

Overlaid on this moving canvas are nine vivid sequences of abstract ASL gestures, presented in bold color and expressive form. Each gesture becomes its own visual rhythm—exploring ASL not as communication, but as visual poetry.

The experience is amplified by an original house music score, composed by Lenny Savage & Luke Civerella in direct response to the visual movement. The result is a dynamic dialogue between sound and sight, rhythm and identity.

ASL Poetry Video Art

Artist: Jon Savage
Medium: Video Art
Duration: 20 minutes
Format: Single channel video with optional looping installation

Description

ASL Poetry Video Art is a 20 minute immersive video experience featuring 23 sequences of American Sign Language poetry layered with English poetic text, original visuals, and rhythmic pacing. Created by Deaf artist Jon Savage, this work invites viewers into a world where movement becomes meaning and language takes shape through the body.

Each segment explores a distinct emotional moment, ranging from joy to sorrow, resilience to vulnerability, unfolding as a visual tapestry of handshape, facial expression, and color. Rather than relying on voice or narration, the work centers the expressive clarity of ASL and its power to communicate directly through visual rhythm.

Designed to be experienced with or without sound, this piece is a meditation on identity, culture, and emotional fluency through Deaf eyes.
