The newly developed electronic audio technology enabled the simultaneous translation of the trial proceedings into Russian, French, German, and English. Abu Hamdan&#8217;s performance departs from this apparatus to examine the inextricable relation between testimony and the technologies by which it is disseminated and distorted. Here Abu Hamdan re-performs the asymmetry between the speed of the technology, which allowed words to travel through copper cables at 4600 m\/s, and the speed of the human mind to process what it sees and stores of a given event. The performance serves as a proposition that the true capacity to bear witness is measured not through acts of coherent testimony and seamless speech but rather its interruptions. <\/p>\n<p>The performance is followed by an artist talk between Abu Hamdan and artistic director Theodor Ringborg, where we will get to hear more about the process behind the exhibition <em>Dirty Evidence<\/em>. In English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow
