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 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 presence) ## Bibliography - Carson, A. (1996) ‘The Gender of Sound’, in Glass, Irony and God.
