Abstract
What if we lived in a world where we could not hear each other’s voice properly? What if we yelled, we shouted, we screamed, but still could not get the message out? What if we could witness all these efforts but just stay powerless as the sounds dying out?
Voice in Void attempts to visualize the limitations of speech by setting up a platform for voice reception and emission to problematize the mechanisms of social media as an echo chamber. The video details the project of an installation featuring a fictional machine where the vacuum in the glass jar makes the voice produced in one room become lower and lower in the other, until it is eventually silenced. Air as freedom is extracted out representing censorship mechanisms on social media. For those who want to express their opinions, their voices are blocked, which results in real silence.
