##My research turn - voice in public:
The workshop was missing content and after the feedback I got from the participants and the outcome of it I started looking for transcripts and distribution of public speeches and that led me on my interest on the voice and the body in public.
The workshop was missing content and after the feedback I got from the participants and the outcome of it I started researching on transcripts and distribution of public speeches and that led me on my interest on the presence of the voice and the body in public.
So I started to focus my research on voice in public, public speeches and assemblies with the aid of media. I am very interested in the voice and its ability to connect people but also to express the uniqueness of the speaker. I looked at specific examples of counter communication for speeches of resistance that I had come accross in a previous research.

In feminists movements speech-making workshops were helping women to express the violence in their private space (their home) to the public domain that was dominated by male voices. There was a strong division between private and public, women and men that keeps up till today. They were privatizing listening and horizontal communication. The presence of them in public was very important.

In 2011 in occupy movement speech and voice played also an important role. Public assemblies and speeches were held every day by citizens in squares. It was not allowed to use amplifying devices in some public spaces so the crowd became the "human microphone", repeating what the speaker says. Youtube and live streaming was used for the fast communication of the public assemblies in internet and were perfectly fitted in the urgency of those actions. I see streaming as a bottom-up approach for establishing rapid (though temporary) communication.

Similarly radio activists were broadcasting community radio shows or spreading political speeches legally or illegally.

A very fast process were the companies realised and developed their own livestreaming like facebook, instagram where people stream live videos from demontstrations, terrorists attacts. An urgent tool.

Similarly radio activists were always broadcasting community radio shows or spreading political speeches again with this need for rapid streaming.
A very fast process from the people using the available tools. And the companies realised that and developed their own livestreaming like facebook, instagram where people stream live videos from demonstrations, terrorists attacts. An urgent tool without the need for mainstream media.

###Why
Coming from a country were the public presence and resistance is on stake, gender inequalities are reflected in the public and the engagememt with the technology is divided in the male expert and the other amateur, I felt the need to embrace this side of technology and awaken it and the demand for presence through my own eyes. Coming to a country were the public presence is highly controlled and surveilled. Use of technology for controling the crowd that is not expressed in public but online. The bodily representation and face to face communication not on priority in matters of democracy and agonistic arena. Reflecting the issues arisen on the rights on speech and open use of public spaces. Interrogating the contribution of daily technologies like livestraming and their exploitation by social media companies. Surveillance with personal assistants, listening to the crowd.
Relation of private and public (to be exposed to the public). On the other hand privacy and public domain online (exposure of private data) exploiting and supressing users and citizens. Surveillance in the public space but also in online public domains.
###what
I want to organise group sessions with conversations on public speech and live-streaming that connect the public space with the private, the digital with the physical and explores the possibilities of these processes in both spaces. They will be similar to the previous idea, with conversations on privacy and claiming rights in the public with our own voice. At the same time engagament with the tools and practices that are related to these phenomenon. Looking for the potentials of these for a more active public domain (agonistic). I would try these sessions in physical public spaces, where the exploitation of citizens data and their restriction and control is present. The relation of a private space(and all the things that involve, the private life of the contemporary user) with a low_tech public space.
It’s somehow controversial when the citizens have to ask for the use of technology in public spaces but the states install surveillance devices in the streets and squares and gather data of them without their concent. I found several restrictions regarding public assemblies. In Rotterdam, in a specific area where a market of immigrants, Afrikaandermarkt, is being held, there is a ban on public assembly, previously legitimated by anti-hooliganism, it is now enforced due to anti-terrorist concerns. In some cases surveillance with several technologies and devices is applied. The installation of these devices in the public space conflicts with the constitution. Examples of such technologies and practices that surveil public assemblies are the operation of CCTV cameras and the collection of personal data through videotaping and photographing. They tresspass the privacy rights of the protesters.

###How
####Example of workshop. //Explain the blue//
A workshop discussion on public speech and assemblies in Netherlands:
- I will bring texts related to that, we will figure out laws in their country and this country, what is the situation with women? Able to speak in public? what are the public spaces for immigrants and refugees? What streaming tools are used for emergent publishing

- I will bring texts related to that, we will figure out laws in their country and this country, what is the situation with women? Able to speak in public? what are the public spaces for immigrants? What streaming tools are used for emergent publishing
- Prototyping with devices- live streaming- archive our speeches-what is their experience with these tools?
- Public moment in Leeszaal. Exploring its online spreading through automated transcription

why: occupy public space and the contribution of media, externilize the private the need for presence for democratic processes to happen, the conflict with the powerful.
Liveness that the medium provides and engagement with the technology
