Janet Cardiff and George Bures-Miller, The Killing Machine, 2007.
Jury duty today.
UPDATE: Wi-fi! I'm sitting at a table with George Hemphill. Both of us just got called for voir dire.
UPDATE II: Wi-fi in the courtroom, too! Since they made a fuss about my digital voice recorder, I'm not sure why I'm able to use my laptop in here—pretty sure I could record a courtroom conversation better with my Macbook than with my Olympus—but no one is telling me no, even after I rather pluckily plugged my charger into the wall socket.
There was a sweet moment in the jurors' lounge. Sitting across from the table where I was working was a blind woman, probably in her late 50s, cute as a button. When the administrator called her number, she answered "Present" and said, under her breath, "Yes! I'm going to be on a jury!" Imagine the mental fist pump.

There is a strong iconographic case to be made in favor of visual impairment with regard to judicial matters.
