Reversal Voice

Reversal Voice is an interactive sound installation.
It reversely processes the voice volume in a dialogue to explore the balance of voice during people’s communication.

Inspiration

While communicating with others, why do we utter loud voice?
Everyone had such experience when we tried to make others surrender, tried to vent your emotions, or tried to make yourself get some attention, but how did it work?

Majority & Minority

During communication, the voice volume always symbolizes certain mainstream and strength. The mainstream and strong voice plays a dominant role, and sometimes, such difference may deprive the marginal and weak voice as well as their power to be listened, but in fact, all voices are of equal importance.

Emotion

During communication, especially argument, the voice volume affects emotions, and also is affected by emotions. When the argument becomes more and more violent, the extreme emotions and sharp words will control our brain.

Order

When we were in our childhood, we always hoped to get what we wanted by willful behaviors and crying, to get attention by raising our voice, but when everyone did this, it only caused everything out of order, as well as annoying noises. And in most cases, those behaviors haven’t been improved along with the growing of age.
