O[au]ral Projection; Reading as Listening, Soundings as Text Forming a Collective Memory, is a project that aims to explore the intricate relationship between control and order in the interplay of language and communication, both written and spoken. The content of this work emerges from extensive, solo, improvised street wanderings across various locations, influencing the thought process and giving rise to fractured narratives in response to fundamental questions.The project delves into the essence of words—what happens when there is no clear origin or sound but a continuous thought reverberation, the inner voice? The internal dialogue that only the individual can perceive. Who does the voice belong to when reading, speaking, and thinking? Delving into the thought process before the commitment to writing and speaking raises questions about conscious control.
Considering the experiences of street haunting, solitary wandering, and the influence of location, the project explores how external sounds and internal thoughts can be arranged on the same page. This orchestrated yet improvised, alienated experience prompts reflection on the extent of their combination. How much control is exerted over lexical choices, shaped by current events? How does the memory of a previous place persist in the present mind, influencing the current state of thought?
Presented in book form, this compilation showcases selected works and manipulated thought processes, serving as a documented journey that has informed the vocal and locational derivation of "17 Minutes of." The project involves the creation of wordplay and the manipulation of language and visuals, reflecting on thought processes. The resulting non-linear structures may not always make complete rational sense but strive to encourage a different kind of understanding.
Within this exploration, unexplained happenings, found sounds, fragmented conversations, and unspoken words coexist, creating a nuanced tapestry of auditory and visual elements.
This project is a response to the Her Noise Archive at London College of Communication.
"Her Noise Archive is a resource of collected materials investigating music and sound histories in relation to gender bringing together a wide network of women artists who use sound as a medium".
