At right: detail

In her interactive CD-ROM Sensing Discrepancies, Claudia Herbst develops an alternative model of human-computer interaction that destabilizes the viewer’s sense of time and asserts that history itself is a medium of representation. The muted visuals and equivocal transitions of Herbst’s work embody her interest in forms of precision and expression that evade hierarchies determined by gender and culture.
