This web-audio interface was made by Angeliki Diakrousi. It challenges the ways we are listening to certain female sounding voices that are perceived as inappropriate - because of the quality of their sound, their gender, the medium's distortions but also stereotypes and collective memories that they often awake. These are verbal expressions that have been associated with forms of monstrosity since ancient times. Contributors are invited to record themselves with their own microphones, expressing their thoughts and choose a type of distortion. They are invited to participate in forming new imaginaries around a technologically mediated collective voice that through its 'monstrosity' can reveal other forms of speech that embrace their damage. They can choose what type of mediated voice they want to do that. A series of writings reveals stories and theories on the topic. The interface allows any voice to be recorded and saved in the artist's server where the website is hosted. There they get distorted through several scripts. Then the new sounds are categorized, depending on the chosen distortion, and published back in the platform. They can be played at the same time or in any desired order. The interface was first made for the performance "Radioactive Monstrosities" as part of the event NL_CL #2 : FLESH hosted by iii and Netherlands Coding Live and its conceptualization is an ongoing process related to my graduation research Let's Amplify Unspeakable Things and previous performances
