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

Streaming voices of West Rotterdam

It is a social project.Sound is used as a way to reveal things about private and public, suppression of voices in that area with a broader concern on how the voices are amplified. It is about revealing hidden aspects of this Dutch area that it is connected How stories underneath are revealed Sound excavation Where the private/public and gender separation is present in that specific example. What modes of address are present. How they are mediated. Is there a collective voice? Leeszaal is my meeting point I visit the area, recording characteristic sounds from it, walk and then visit Leeszaal as a meeting point of these people that are related to that area.

I will make my archive of recorded sounds open to the people that are related to the area and I will start conversations about them and their personal connection with them. I wil give an object to discuss, like a printed soundwave where they can annotate on it and then I will come back with a new thing. THe process will be about involvement. Then gradually this process will reveal topic that are important for them to discuss and record voices or not. This process will create an archive of sounds either recordings, findings, voices that maybe I will stream.

The process is about liveness. Spread the area's secret sides live.
