In the final episode of our translation and transcription season, we speak with artist Vivian Caccuri about her work listening to, synthesizing, and translating the sounds of the mosquito. We explore how and why mosquitos make their infamous sound, how colonialism has impacted species of mosquitos, how governments have politicized the image of the mosquito, and the beauty of researching socially stigmatized sounds.
