About the Work
In gaming thousands of women are faced with a main roadblock when it comes to competing: they can’t participate in games with their mics open because when the rest of the players hear their female voice they make the match impossible for them.
They are victims of insults and belittling of all kinds. This enormously affects the gamers that want to have fun and look to go pro, because in these conditions their performance and possibilities of moving up the ranks becomes much more complicated.
The project's intended purpose:
To bring awareness to this issue, we created an experiment in which three professional gamers played with a female voice modulator, in order to experience first hand what women go through when they try to game. Gamers accustomed to playing under pressure and winning with ease, had their performance lowered considerably, as did their win percentage.
The importance of the placement of the work:
The message had an impact that rapidly echoed throughout the media and pushed this topic of conversation in all digital platforms so they can talk about this issue. Mainly TikTok, Twitter and Instagram, where women created conversation threads sharing their experiences
