The Hearing Test is a new and developing online residency collaborative art project between the Irish composer and writer Ailís Ní Ríain and the Spanish creative technologist and artist Andrea Pazos for Abandon Normal Devices Festival and DaDaFest 2012.  Both artists are hearing impaired and have been using their personal experience of hearing loss to develop this new web-based art project which asks users to take an online hearing test with a difference while questioning their perception of hearing impairment and deafness in contemporary life. www.thehearingtest.org
