<h3>2. About the work</h3>
<h3>2. Note on Browser Permissions & Compatibility</h3>
<p>
The site has been successfully tested on Firefox version 72 and Google
Chrome version 79 and Safari 13. Due to browser permission policies, the
viewer must enable microphone and sound permissions in order for the site
function correctly (see images below). We have seen that some mobile browser applications
(such as Firefox) do not immediately request these permissions.
Furthermore, restrictive <a href="https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes#webaudio">auto-play policies</a>
may require that the viewer first interact with the site (for example,
clicking/touching the "Leaf" button first) before enabling
microphone/sound permissions. Every effort has been made in the
development to account for the varied browser permissions ecosystem. For
best results, we recommend using a desktop computer or laptop where
permissions are more easily configured.

<h3>3. About Kari Robertson</h3>
<h3>4. About Kari Robertson</h3>
<p>Kari Robertson b. 1988, Scotland, is a visual artist who lives and works in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Robertson works with time-based media, primarily sound, analogue film and digital video. She received an M.A in Fine Art from The Piet
Zwart Institute in 2016, and undertook a residency at Deltaworkers (New Orleans) through the Mondriaan Fund in 2019.</p>
<p>In her work Kari takes a ‘sci-fi’ approach to subjectivity, using narrative as a tool to re/un-think the sovereignty of our bodies, identities or minds, and as a means to access forms of ‘radical empathy’.</p>
<p>Kari also plays in the improvisational/experimental band Difficult with Eothan Stearn and Tracy Hanna.</p>

<h3>6. How the page works</h3>
<p>This website is made using mainly <a href="https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/">Flask</a> and <a href="https://p5js.org/">P5js</a>.</p>
<p>Users are invited to record their voices speaking or making non-verbal sounds into the site which the software will then translate into visual forms. Audio attributes such as amplitude and duration of sound recordings are translated into the
visual properties of size, number of edges, and colour. Users can play with using the different qualities of their voice to create varied and dynamic visualisations. The recordings are then ‘planted’ in the voicegarden (or added to the
archive). </p>
<p>Using the small ‘plant’ button, archived recordings by previous users are placed on the site and made to interact with the active user. The recordings made by visitors are deleted from the server each day.</p>
