"D-Passage is a nuanced and original intervention in new media and digital arts. For Trinh T. Minh-ha, the digital artwork, or 'd-work,' is characterized not by the technology that delivers it but by the 'passage' itself: digital form achieved in flux, in the movement of experience and sensation through the work. Words are never merely words in her work, and the same is true for images, ideas, sounds, music, voices, faces and figures, movement and tone. Everything is marked by a passage elsewhere."—Akira Mizuta Lippit, author of Ex-Cinema: From a Theory of Experimental Film and Video

"Trinh mediates on the complex interrelations between individual selves speaking from unique and particular places in space and time…between speakers-writers and readers-hearers. I would argue that embedded in that mediation are the traditional philosophical issues of nature of self, reality, and knowledge. Most important, however, Trinh touches on what I take as the core essence of philosophy, the reinvention of thought adequate to a changing world."—Andrea Nye, Hypatia


"In a world of intervals–spaces between things–Trinh has the unique ability to connect things and to articulate their interdependence. Presence requires absence, something nothing, reality illusion, and being nonbeing. Trinh's perspective enables her to shed considerable light on the way digital technology 'impacts upon the foundation of our knowledge and upon our perceptions of the world.'"—John Belton, Film Quarterly
