Why people would care about this vocal presence/representation in public spaces? Because they want to talk about how they imagine the world around them, what experiences they have.

Qustumize your own streaming/digital space
using the questions from my question structure of 2015/ for space and medium
hackthon: where you ask the participants to explore a subject, through the development of a prototypes, from give a starting point.
workshop: where you bring in a certain technology/prototype/... and ask others to develop or explore it. More focused on a approach and see what that approach can lead to
(book) sprints: where the group writes collaboratively a manual / research text / book / and produces a wbesite/pdf/...
test session: where a given procedure/methods is tested on the participants and at the end feedback is given
...others or combinations of these
*Questions
What medium represents you? And how you do it?*

Media theorist Geert Lovink is apparently missing out on what is happening here amongst other places when he writes: "The Social Media Question: Where are the Alternatives?" poking at a broadly defined "geek class" and applying the term elitism to it. I have never met him and i believe he's well known.

## Diary notes
Poetics, the poetics of the medium, the poetics of the voice being metiated
Future: leaving the social sphere and the self, after the practice has been clear. Thinking of the condition of the medium, the device, the software, the technology/ the landscape of it, the low-tech, the abandonence. Metaphor of the human loneliness. Lonileness, how I experience it, and the connection with an object. The idea of it. Detachement of myself and the responsibilty of it.
# Proposals
## Streaming voices of West Rotterdam !!!I KEEP THAT ONE!!! Subterranean streams {#streaming_voices_of_west_rotterdam_i_keep_that_one_subterranean_streams}
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.
what: a publication of a collection of feminist practices from wiki/git to printable pdf. A structure of a speaker listening to the surrouding and broadcasting back
why: occuping with sound, female ways of knowing, caring, concerning
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. Its
also about \"re-membering of the past which, against the colonialist
practices of erasure and avoidance and the related desire to set time
aright, calls for thinking a certain undoing of time; a work of mourning
more accountable to, and doing justice to, the victims of ecological
destruction and of racist, colonialist, and nationalist violence, human
and otherwise -- those victims who are no longer there, and those yet to
come\" (Barad, 2018)
I am going introduce layers of mapping and I will reflect with my own
voice as well
in streaming you dont have the time to edit and reflect you just accept
it is like the agonistic model no time for thinking about future utopias
and realities but what is happening now. West Rotterdam what is
happening now. Archive as a process for transmitting (storage or
