Digital Speech

“‘Digital Speech’ uses a traveler’s anecdote, a perverse variant of a classic Zen parable, as a vehicle for an exploration of language, thought and gesture. The tape plays with the nature of narrative, with ways of telling, performing and illustrating, and uses nonsense language, scat singing and video rescan for comic comment. “Rose’s terrific sense of humor and genius at timing make him a cross between an intellectual Eddie Murphy and an old-time vaudeville comedian with a PhD.” – Ann Sargent-Wooster, Afterimage “His works asks very serious questions regarding the nature of thought and the meaning of language, while at the same time casting banana peels for unsuspecting minds.” – Tom Gartside, New Art Examiner
