Strategies of the intervention

Even though we are still working on our practical project, we have to start thinking and planning ahead for how we think about intervene with the public. I think we still would like to screen the slide show onto a building. But getting the right equipment and plan the dates of screening might take some time so we should get started as soon as possible and work with it alongside the development of the project itself. We need to find a building to screen it on and a building to screen it from. We also need a decent projector. The sound is also a problem in need of being solved. I came across a site called mobmov (short for Mobile Movie), which is an Internet based movement that started in the U.S in 2004, for people who likes the concept of drive-in movies. People can sign up to get info about the where and when the screenings will be and all they have to do then is to show up in a car equipped with a radio, at the announced spot, often in parking lots next to a wall suitable for screening. The projector and the FM transmitter is placed in one of the cars.
This is interesting to our project. I don't know how it works yet but if it would be possible to get a FM transmitter this could be the way to get people the best chance of hearing the sound recordings. The photos can hopefully work for themselves but if people want to engage more I thought maybe (?) hopefully (!) they can tune the frequency in on their mp3 players, if it has got a radio receiver. I really don't know much about this, but I am trying to find out more about it since it would be a nice thing to do. If it is possible to do technically I hope it's not gonna cost too much to go through with. So if you read this and have knowledge about the matter please let me know!


well that's the text from the Jennie blog, because we are working together on that project I thought it might be interesting if I'll put it in on mine blog as well.
today we suppose to do some more interviews but... well all my fault, I was to tired, last week I worked 50h and it just wasn't possible for me to do anything, sorry.
tomorrow we want to discus some more issues about the project not only me and Jennie but also we have some questions to Paula, she is always very helpful with the advise(last time we got from her links how to upload sound on our blog- cool).
on Friday I spoke with Aviv and Patrick, so we decided we want to do some stuff together as well, they are interested in projecting the stories on the buildings and so on.this Friday we would like to continue with the interviewing the people, collect some more ideas from them.
