Strategy- example- intention OR 1.1 What do I want to make? (strategy) 1.2 How do I plan to make it? (example) 1.3 What is my timetable? 1.4 Why do I want to make it? (intention) 1.5 Who can help me and how? 1.6 Previously 1.7 Relation to a larger context
Network/public utterance. Overflowed emotions
1.1 I want to make a public utterance of voices with the fascilitation of tools that amplify the voice. An utterance of mediated voices/ streamed and broadcasted depending on the time they are made/ sometimes they will sychronize creating an "annoying noise". Other times the speeches will be clear. Create a poetic (audio) narrative emerging from the contribution of people.
1.2 scenario A. Amplification through multitude. I will create (or use one like livestraming) a digital platform, a common public place where the voices meet. Constructing your own tools (streaming devices and apps) and access to the medium that amplifies the voice (privitization of medium, patriarchal structure). People will contribute with their own voices (or writings?) online or from workshops/gatherings I will intitiate. I will broadcast them back to the public space of Leeszaal for example.
scenario B.
1.4 Being present (vocally?) in the political spheres and understanding the tools that make that possible.
1.7 There is a mystification around the female voice since the base of the European though, the democracy of Ancient Greece. According to Anne Carson there is a patriarchical anxiety on the "annoying noise" that the female voice creates. The collective highpitched cry of women was not permitted to be exposed in the public civic arena where politics were discussed, mostly by men. Women were expressing the collective dark memories and emotions of a society. These unspeakable things had to stay hidden. In todays society this exclusion in public spaces and political spheres is still valid. I believe that the female voice is related to the collective voice that talks about the vulnerable side of the human nature. Aspects of our nature, like birth and death, have been repressed and demonized by religion and the state. The democracy that we are used to has an oxymoron inside. Privitized mediums are fascilitating democracy by empowering the individual. Public spaces as an extension of that are also privitized. But isn't a democratic arena a place where everyone can talk, everything comes to the table and decisions are made collectively? Live streaming of facebook is an example of privitized medium that "fascilitates" democratic processes.
The roots of collective voice
1.1 participatory performances in circles or immitating a model of democracy/ mediation?
1.2 Scenario A. Borrowing practices of amplification embodied or mediated. Trying in Lesszaal, Piet Zwart
