Small ideas:
:The text circulated in the digital sphere (social media, news etc) read/broadcasted (espeak?people participated to create phonemes?) live to participants while walking in the city. Choosing spots that have an importance (historical, political, surveillance spots etc) in relevance to my documentation and research.
:In reverse: sounds/voices/speeches of the electromagnetic-online realm being transcribed to a text that is shared to the public. 
:local networks and reading rooms
:Taking my research text into the archival material (texts, transcriptions, voices, speeches) being compared
An attempt to: <br />
Walking, parallel actions. Setting up local networks of writing and reading and working with programming. Reading rooms. Deconstruct research methodologies by collaborating together in the physical space while being in the cyber. Bringing conflictuous contexts together. How the language is an error, how projects with the language become a tool for communication and interrogation as a group, collective.  Collaborating and communicating/antennas hardware. Hack the available medium into each instance/context I will be involved.
Writing abstracts mostly and use them as a first raw material to experiment with. Working with software that seems related even if it looks irrelevant, like antennas software, speech recognition, local networks, python/nltk?, pirate libraries. While writing and prototyping I intend to interact with public spheres. I would like to try interact with contexts outside of my known area, like the art-initiatives in Philippines (already interacting) and Greece/Romania or local groups here and communities online.


The steps I want to follow:
=== Previously ===
:prototyping with radio/antennas and webcast/broadcast and embroidered antennas
I interrogated the language structure by bringing together people from different backgrounds and contexts to read, listen and write texts in a playful way that reveals layers and structures of the language. At the same time I keep being interested in how the tool becomes the output and reverse. I worked with collective writing, reading, speech recognition, collective annotation, collective reading and interacted with digital communities to construct the software.
:prototyping with mapping and lines
:prototyping with speech recognition
:prototyping with synopsis
:Set-up a platform to document prototyping, writing, experiments in public. People can contribute to that. Comminication friction. leave a trace. Establish temporary platforms
:documenting events, public spaces (where the electromagnetic, online sphere and speeches appear, surveillance spots, How the spaces are mediated and use tracking devices or software for communication)
:searching archives like city archive, Kootwijk history, radio communities
:search for technologies that are already made for surveillance and are related to speech recognition in the city
:<s>Collect bibliography</s>
:<s>Setting up questions</s>
:<s>Reading- Making abstracts</s>


More specifically the pattern in my work regarding the parallel presence through the voice and the tools that relate the embodied and the distant voice (telepresence) is like that:<br />
'''Sound Acts in Victoria Square:''' multiple hacked sound/radio devices that 'carry' the voices of the women interviewed and represent them in the square. Their voices come from a past time at the same place, when they were present physically. At another time only their words are present in the place and 'participate' in conversations in the square. From my text describing the project: “The broadcasted female voices were abruptly intervening into the existing conversations in the specific places, giving the impression of an non-invited “absent” guest.” The distant voice is the mediated voice of women in a past time at the square.


The reason I am doing that:<br />
'''My Way Home:''' a person follows the voice of another person in another time and place from her/him, giving instructions for navigating in the space and sharing a personal route. The voices are recorded and played back with mp3 devices or cellphones. The distant voice is the mediated voice of someone in the past of the same route but in another place.  
I want to dive into the in between space of media and physical landscapes. Regarding the expanses of public spheres in diverse spaces interesting networks are created that can stay active by circulating the knowledge produced by the people being involved. Knowledge is circulated also through the speech and the voice of people in internet, electromagnetic spheres, communication platforms in general and physical spaces. The small conversations/murmurings/gossiping spread around those communication platforms are making a public space, that differs from the public access in spaces as Saskia Sassen mentions and the big political, religion, institutional speeches dominating the public spaces. Seeing the documentation of these voices/sounds/speeches as an archive of collective memory, this material could be placed together on a way that proposes alternative of perceiving ourselves individually and collectively into those landscapes. It can also propose other ways of "publicness". As Ong observed in ''Orality and Literacy'', the condition for a democratic social dialogue in oral cultures was the presence of people in the space and their oral speech and thus after many discussions and performative behaviors they would reach to a decision together or they would just share their individual identities and stories. At the same time peoples voices are used for the creation of phonemes that would help the "machine" to understand, recognize and imitate human voices, conversations. How political decisions affect those spheres? I can imagine living in the world of voices.


'''Language Poetry Lab:''' international friends and students are listening to my voice reading a text in Greek (an unknown language for them) live. I ask them to write down what they understand in their languages. The error in translation resembles the game of broken telephone. The distant voice is my embodied voice that becomes unfamiliar because of the unknown language.


Who could help me:<br />
'''Ttssr:''' it is like the broken telephone. Voices being recorded live that are filtered through the machine and coming back [broadcasted] in loops. The distant voice is the voice mediated by a machine using the 'pocketsphinx' tool.

At the same time I keep being interested in how the tool becomes the output and reverse. I worked with collective writing, reading, speech recognition, collective annotation, collective reading and interacted with digital communities to construct the software. My way of working looks like an alien creature but weirdly make sense; I combine different unrelated (technically and conceptually) software with the purpose to follow the concept.  
'''(Cradiff- her long hair):''' through the process of walking and listening Cardiff invited people to listen to her recorded voice while she was making the same route at another time. Her breathing, her voice and other sounds of her walking were a companion to the person walking through mp3/Cdplayer. The distant voice is the mediated voice of Cardiff in the past of the same route.

I would like to keep writing abstracts, short essays. Writing texts to be merged with writing scripts and scores, until the point where the format of the text is deconstructed and proposes other ways of reading and writing the thesis. I would like to approach the text as a social space open to the public, like what we did the last trimester with reading a text in the tunnel, while walking.

-What is your relation with antennas and radio? why are you interested in them?<br />
-How did you gain this knowledge? <br />
-Did your gender affected your involvement to radio technologies and culture and your first choice?<br />
-Did you see radio as a different tool than what is perceived to be?<br />
-How did you set-up radio stations? legal or illegal?<br />
-How the speech and voice was part of your pirate radio attempts?<br />
-Describe me your how it was to do such projects in public space.
-What references would you propose?<br />


Example of "blurry" writing:<br />
==== Julie Boschat Thorez ====
- What were the main difficulties of documenting a work like the UBERMORGEN's work?<br />
- What forms of presentation did you use?<br />
- How did you mix them in one publication? Or maybe it was a multiple publication existing in different forms and places?<br />
- What was the best way to document it/archive it/publish it according to you?

=== Questions ===
=== Workshops ===
* How is the media sphere related to public spaces? How they do construct the space?
'''The Edges of the Voice'''
* What that reveals for the space (either physical or digital) and our surroundings?
Reading Room #29, Stroom, Hague. ** Took the text "the gender of sound"
* How the commons are related to that and how can be influenced by that?
* How the tools provide another perspective and way of research or communicating?
* How walking and including the presence of our body into this media occupied public space reveals hidden meanings and perspectives?
* How the art and architecture opens up to these possibilities that this technical knowledge of programming, media provides? How can this still be conceptual, poetic? How can this include the "I" and the "we"? How and why to make things public?
* <s>Is it object, is it an endless process, is it an action?</s>


Steve's questions:
'''Voice and presence: how to be loud'''  
* What material from the 'text on method' you wrote last trimester could be useful for the proposal? ...Abstracts, descriptions of projects in process, collective writing...
Thursday, 27 December 2018 16:00, Komona Kuppel 3 #talks ** I don't agree so much with the idea to be loud if I want to be present with others. But the vocal exercises were interesting.
* What possibilities are open to you? ...tools, places/networks I would interact with, workshops of writing...


(make a list of whys, questions, silly or not, eternal, going closer to the core)
'''QueerFeministGeeks - MeetUp'''
Thursday, 27 December 2018 19:00, Lecture room M3 ** Separated in discussion groups with different topics. The moderators would clap in order the groups to stop talking. They were asking if somebody can hear them to clap once and then if somebody can hear them to clap twice.


=== Mood ===
'''Tactical Embodiment'''
Being practical/mechanical/physical and at the same time conceptual/intuitive
Thursday, 27 December 2018 22:10, Eliza ** The artist used the idea of tactical media to respond to the pressure of men to women for having sexual action. She made a video game and a feminist meeting in an online game. The feminist meeting is a way of amplification of the female voice, through online digital platforms like this game.
:::::::::-----the core and the surroundings-----


Being an insect having or creating antennas. Being in place and being absent. Being expert to my tools and mechanisms.
'''Commie curious'''
The non-art
Saturday, 29 December 2018 14:15, Lecture room M2 ** A discussion on communism in the form of workshop. Instead of clapping the moderators would raise the hand and if anyone in the groups would see him they would do the same.
Hack the media surrounding us, use them as artistic tools (antennas, locative/in-situ? installation in between spaces, digital, physical, cultural)
layers of sharing

For the three-week duration of the MFA exhibition at the Krannert Art Museum, in Champaign, IL, participatory events occur daily in roaming public spaces around the city. Museum viewers become speakers by using microphones to rupture the spectatorship, privilege, and permanence of the public museum, and spectators become discussants by joining or questioning the gatherings. The sounds from each location are relayed to the other space to contrast the implicit or explicit limits on engagement established by those who monitor, manage, and control.

Let's amplify unspeakable things


Previously

I interrogated the language structure by bringing together people from different backgrounds and contexts to read, listen and write texts in a playful way that reveals layers and structures of the language. At the same time I keep being interested in how the tool becomes the output and reverse. I worked with collective writing, reading, speech recognition, collective annotation, collective reading and interacted with digital communities to construct the software.

More specifically the pattern in my work regarding the parallel presence through the voice and the tools that relate the embodied and the distant voice (telepresence) is like that:
Sound Acts in Victoria Square: multiple hacked sound/radio devices that 'carry' the voices of the women interviewed and represent them in the square. Their voices come from a past time at the same place, when they were present physically. At another time only their words are present in the place and 'participate' in conversations in the square. From my text describing the project: “The broadcasted female voices were abruptly intervening into the existing conversations in the specific places, giving the impression of an non-invited “absent” guest.” The distant voice is the mediated voice of women in a past time at the square.

My Way Home: a person follows the voice of another person in another time and place from her/him, giving instructions for navigating in the space and sharing a personal route. The voices are recorded and played back with mp3 devices or cellphones. The distant voice is the mediated voice of someone in the past of the same route but in another place.

Language Poetry Lab: international friends and students are listening to my voice reading a text in Greek (an unknown language for them) live. I ask them to write down what they understand in their languages. The error in translation resembles the game of broken telephone. The distant voice is my embodied voice that becomes unfamiliar because of the unknown language.

Ttssr: it is like the broken telephone. Voices being recorded live that are filtered through the machine and coming back [broadcasted] in loops. The distant voice is the voice mediated by a machine using the 'pocketsphinx' tool.

(Cradiff- her long hair): through the process of walking and listening Cardiff invited people to listen to her recorded voice while she was making the same route at another time. Her breathing, her voice and other sounds of her walking were a companion to the person walking through mp3/Cdplayer. The distant voice is the mediated voice of Cardiff in the past of the same route.

Final Thesis: Let's Talk About Unspeakable Things

I would like to keep writing abstracts, short essays. Writing texts to be merged with writing scripts and scores, until the point where the format of the text is deconstructed and proposes other ways of reading and writing the thesis. I would like to approach the text as a social space open to the public, like what we did the last trimester with reading a text in the tunnel, while walking.

Regarding your workshop "ONDES SAUVAGES, FEMINIST FUTUROTOPIAS" I would like to make some questions - How did you produce text, narrations and involved dreams, phantasies into your broadcastings in relation to the technology.

The Edges of the Voice Reading Room #29, Stroom, Hague. ** Took the text "the gender of sound"

Voice and presence: how to be loud Thursday, 27 December 2018 16:00, Komona Kuppel 3 #talks ** I don't agree so much with the idea to be loud if I want to be present with others. But the vocal exercises were interesting.

QueerFeministGeeks - MeetUp Thursday, 27 December 2018 19:00, Lecture room M3 ** Separated in discussion groups with different topics. The moderators would clap in order the groups to stop talking. They were asking if somebody can hear them to clap once and then if somebody can hear them to clap twice.

Tactical Embodiment Thursday, 27 December 2018 22:10, Eliza ** The artist used the idea of tactical media to respond to the pressure of men to women for having sexual action. She made a video game and a feminist meeting in an online game. The feminist meeting is a way of amplification of the female voice, through online digital platforms like this game.

Commie curious Saturday, 29 December 2018 14:15, Lecture room M2 ** A discussion on communism in the form of workshop. Instead of clapping the moderators would raise the hand and if anyone in the groups would see him they would do the same.

RootIO: Community Radio as a Service **haven't been (RootIO Radio, Radical Networks, October 2018 )

This workshop introduces participants to the RootIO platform, and takes them through the steps of creating a station.

ONDES SAUVAGES, FEMINIST FUTUROTOPIAS**haven't been (r∆∆dio c∆∆rgo and Spideralex, Rencontres BANDITS-MAGES, November 2018)
A workshop on speculative writing of feminist technologies and collective sound narrative. A workshop to reclaim our relationships with techniques and technologies, to subvert these techniques, to blur genders and blow up codes and rules: to interlock emerging worlds with appealing futures.

Her long black hair Her Long Black Hair takes each listener on a winding, mysterious journey through Central Park’s 19th-century pathways, retracing the footsteps of an enigmatic dark-haired woman.

The public square For the three-week duration of the MFA exhibition at the Krannert Art Museum, in Champaign, IL, participatory events occur daily in roaming public spaces around the city. Museum viewers become speakers by using microphones to rupture the spectatorship, privilege, and permanence of the public museum, and spectators become discussants by joining or questioning the gatherings. The sounds from each location are relayed to the other space to contrast the implicit or explicit limits on engagement established by those who monitor, manage, and control.

"De bron (Sjanet Bijker, 2006)". This project was conceived by Groningen artist Sjanet Bijker in 2006. People could send messages through the internet that were made audible by text-to-voice converting software. Also the water was rippled due to the sound that was heard. The well was placed in several public places around the town of Groningen.
It is very related to my project proposal as it related to the transfer of the digital text/messages to the public space through the voice.

Leave a message (Yoanna Buzova, 2014) is a participatory project, a network of voice mailboxes, that allow members of the public to record and distribute audio messages in public space.

Public Broadcast Cart is a shopping cart outfitted with a dynamic microphone, a mixer, an amplifier, six speakers, a miniFM transmitter and a laptop with a wireless card. The audio captured by the microphone on the cart is fed through the mixer to three different broadcast sources.

EMF Sensing and Fractal Antennas The wearable detectors that are produced at the workshop can be used in a number of ways - as an open-source tool to explore the city’s invisible landscape, as an audiovisual performance interface or as a way to collect EMF data that can afterwards be used for further analysis and experiments (e.g. vizualisation or signification).

Pak Sheung Chuen Coincidence Measured by Body/ Andrew Maerkle Based in Hong Kong, Pak Sheung Chuen is known for works involving subtle interventions into the everyday urban environment.

Lam Siu-wing, Flaneur 11 Homeward Bound (2013) The idea of walking from one side of Hong Kong to the other was provoked by the depression of seeking a new job. After spending every single day sending application at home for no result, I was awaken by the days of boredom. I randomly think of a place on the other side of the city: Yuen Long, just on foot. I did documentation for my walk, I pondered my ego in my walk.

I finally walked for 10 times in 5 cities.

The Green Line (Francis Alÿs, Jerusalem, 2004). "In the summer of 1995 I performed a walk with a leaking can of blue paint in the city of São Paulo.The walk was then read as a poetic gesture of sorts. In June 2004, I re-enacted that same performance with a leaking can of green paint by tracing a line following the portion of the ‘Green Line’ that runs through the municipality of Jerusalem"
