"Disorder" explores the duality that conceptions of order play in the lives of Cai Glover and Pierre-Olivier Beaulac-Bouchard and the roles they have been ordered into by way of their experiences with their respective identification with being d/Deaf.

Being Heard Hearing escapes the margins forced upon it by normalization by pursuing the ways in which difference and all of its appealing abnormalities can offer an intentionality to interpretation that is fully conscious of the disability of being hard of hearing. An individual that is other than one seen to fit in; one that is distinctly other. A different use of the senses inspiring a different use of the body. The human vessel is an alterable and altering machine that is responsible for many ways that we can be different in the world, one of which is the way we can be heard hearing.

The story reminds us that the force and the construction of one’s identity are not just the result of a putting in place of scaffolding that is built from within, it is a psychic event; a fixing in place as much from an exterior force as an interior one. Information for self-formation is flowing outwards and inwards, afferent and efferent; a becoming that projects onto one a sense of self. In this case it comes from the commanding presence of others, far from the interior workings of self-hood.
