Seven years after “Vø1ce”, an anthology of texts edited by Neumark with R. Gibson and T. van Leeuwen, this book extends and expands her theories on voice, tracking them through a new materialist approach which includes animals, things and places, and where the resonating ‘bodies’ are no longer confined to humans. It’s a vast exploration going well beyond a pure ‘voice studies’ theoretical method, whose produced knowledge is both ‘situated’ and ‘carnal’. Moreover we can understand how voice is driven by and drives affect and emotions in a complex relationship. The author explores different embodiments, ”tracking” voices, and focusing on how we are both “affected and effected” by voices coming from an army of unexpected agents. She defines a clear path, signposted by a series of media art projects, curated to articulate a large spectrum of (analysed) experiences. In her prose, resonating is tuned with vibrating at large, voicing as a pure phenomenon is confronted with ‘unvoicing’ – or the disconnect between sound and image in specific artworks – and technologies speaking with their own ‘voice’ can be tackled with an appropriate listening of silence. The body of art projects feature in a long conversation throughout the whole text, led by the author. In the end, she unfolds a narrative of listening which works as a perceptual extensor and a significant gateway to a deep conceptual reframing of ‘voice’ per se.
