forth we'd like to tell you about one of our recent programs that we have just concluded it is a program that dealing with the us or terrorist community and the really that the redevelopment of the tears and kind of  community that lives there and how they will be affected by the coming changes our previous program had thirty news now we had ten participants who came together to work with audio recording as well as community interviews and community  events to be able to organize audio pieces that were put up in the fry art museum as an exhibit called intangible effects i was one of these participants and the program was more about community engagement and  using technology to tell stories about the community and the people that live in these communities and it was a great experience we got to learn a lot about technology as well as the programs and communities yes are terror used we actually had the previous program senator on video editing in video recording while this new program was more centered around audio editing and audio recording and so we were able to incorporate the different types of technology and different mediums for each program will so had an engineering aspect to this because the participants made their own speakers and they were able to go to university of washington at the graphic design center where they were able to cut wood and assemble a small speaker that they would be able to then show their products and express the audio through they were able to make small boxes that they could then use to play their audio from  speakers and it was really great to have an engineering aspect as long as well as to get a tour of the you doug graphic design department and we were able to see the engineering department and it was great to be incorporated with the university as well as technology as well as the user terrace community and finally on these products or the projects of these participants are now displayed at the friar museum we had a nice celebration to commemorate the participants of the program for finishing and being able to set up the exhibit it is the intangible effects exhibit on it's free to go to the fire museum and we have the speakers and the audio as well as some headings and information about the program there so you can learn all about the program and what the participants did and just go to the fire museum it's free to see that if you want to see any products or information about the program or the projects they have been published in the r t d nationwide or magazine and all of the participants photos and documents from the program or in the magazine so feel free to come to the friday and see the exhibit for yourselves it's a really good experience and learn more about these programs and the community i d s are to thank you today it's a very very special day for us we are so happy that you could join us today and particularly this that you're able to bring your families and your friends to come and see what you've accomplished in these recent months is it's just so important for us to i was just asked a few minutes ago how long have we been here and the fries actually been in this in this hundred fifty two so shortly after yes the terrace was actually constructed and since that time out commitment has been to serve the community because this is your museum it's free you can come any time you want as many times as you want and there's no admission charge and part of that is the gift from child sinema fry who wanted to make sure that what we were doing was to our community it's so important that we work together in collaboration and i want to thank the number of such an important part of the city and we have so that young people from seattle brought their knowledge and their experience and they wisdom and this skills to this project we are very proud to be part of this with you and crucial to the success of any such any such event any such project the time is that we have many people inside the museum and outside the museum who are making it happen and i just want to thank the artists who it in the show  working with exhibition designer shane montgomery for designing such a fabulous installation here congratulations i think it's a everybody so thrilled with with with what you have accomplished and as you know in a few minutes we're going to have the privilege of having something to eat and i really want to mention  e restaurant who have provided a bound full supply of excellent for us one of the one of the other aspects of this whole project that perhaps you didn't get a chance to learn more about is that it's been supported by many people whom you probably haven't haven't had a chance to meet the trustees of the museum various  and also some funding in part from the wallace foundation for culture in fact that had a full culture is in singing in the in the people's grand opera in another room of the gallery the city of seattle office of that some cultural affairs has supporters and rick tech and we were just having a little discussion a few minutes ago and talking about how we don't want this to be the last project we want you to come to us with your ideas of how we can work together and we want to reach out to you i i'm going to hand in a minute to laura quinn but i also want to mention that what's happening here today has inspired people in many walks of life and one of them one of the organization that has wanted to support this whole project is kalo w the radio station  ninety four point nine f m and the magazine the stranger and i think that it shows us how small steps can take us on a long journey i thank you very much for coming and i'd like to introduce laura quinn who has a few words to say thank you have everybody there's more people than when they sat down first of all thank you so much for coming today it's really exciting to celebrate with every single one of you i want to thank joe and the collective for investing in such an amazing project and having the privilege to work with you thank you and of course tad my coconspirator who i hope to work with more and rack tack

say thank you for everything and for dealing with me every monday coming and borrowing another my or another cable nature consortia elisabeth america are the queens of the community center and i am grateful for their work and helping us get the recordings done and participating in this and i think actually elizabeth might be singing in the people's choir or people's opera all the wonderful people charles thanks  cook this amazing meal that we're about to eat so before i before we go any i wanted to give a couple things out to people to make sure some of you aren't here so i'm going to call you and if you are here can you please come up here and receive this you come up here we're standing here with these wonderful young men and women who have pulled off pulled off this incredible project together and the main thing that i i think about to say is that it's definitely not the last time we do it together we really take it very seriously that way that way i only say many blocks away from one another and i want to thank you because at the time when we good project i learned i gained knowledge and we made this boxes have different sound defense sounds boxes have different sounds and we have to edit them and like every box they have different sounds like we have to edit them and then like one person to have to make them and then we went to different places like people's houses around it it was called for that name but like so we have to go in there and it's like we have to make sure we get the exact thing we have we have to lay any space in the middle and orienting now i know how to interview people and i know how to make some boxes and i require record and edit so yeah with the wreck tech program and we're here at the fry art museum and behind us we have the projects we've done which was basically capturing the sound of yes look for terrorists and we've captured these sounds in these boxes we make universe city of washington and these boxes contain all the different sounds such as interviews that the different sounds the constructions that were contained in yes the community center and over here behind me we have a map of the area we we've recorded sounds in and right over here we have yes the community center that's where we were doing the project and we traveled around there we've all all the way to even harbor view and we went in there and recorded all those different sounds does they have to provide and over here these are where the boxes are contain which have different project and it paid off from this class i've learned how to use a diversity and the different uses of microphones that there are special specialized for different things and such as a shotgun which is used which is used to narrow your which is to speak pick a specific sound or and then we've learned the different uses weekend for interviews and such we used to edit them sounds we've collected we used to das city we picked how long we were going to make clip each sound bite and how much which were the interesting parts and that took a long time because it was hard to decide from what part to what part was interesting and how to smoothly transition the sounds together so they sounded pretty good i advise others to participate in these kind of projects because it involves them with their community while learning about technologies that they can be offered to that they can use to expand that they could use to share with other people so it's it's a rewarding kind of projects and it's not a and it and it's really fun if you put your time and work into it and i recommend you do it because you gain a lot of connections for example i have i'm going to an intern with the another mentor i've worked with amy and she's connecting me with different projects she's doing herself and this gives you access to or even important projects that can decide what you want to do in your future thank you very much this is michael reporting for m r t i see you next time and  a project that at that time we were just starting with a bunch of youth and yes at the yes or community center i'm now back to introduce you to the final project that we actually created with those kids so we had a seven week workshop and in that time our youth learned how to do audio recording and they learned how to do interviewing and they learned how to do audio editing on  computers we also brought them to the university of washington and gave them a tour of the campus and showed them some of our shops and together we created this installation that you see here at the fry museum which is a collection of some of the sounds that the kids recorded and edited for themselves and so the idea is each of these sounds when you take them together creates a kind of an overview kind of capturing of a moment of life yes or terrorists as it was in the fall of two thousand and twelve and so we've got everything from just different sounds of interviews with people this is a sound of charles parishes a sculptor who lives at yes or terrorist this is him  working with some of his tools we've got sounds of the street lights you got sounds of some of the residents playing music just a whole range of different kinds of sound and when you look play with them in experience them all together you get a sense of kind of all of the kinds of activities that go on what kind of dynamic and wifely neighborhood yes are terrorist the today  with our big celebration for the project and so our participants came back and restaurant catered and we had this wonderful event with lots of fantastic food and it was a wonderful way to kind of cap the project to kind of have a big party at the end and bring everyone back together and so it's been a great it's a great experience working with the kids it's really exciting to see the project finally finished and installed and it was wonderful to have some time to hang out and a great day sorry as a way to thank the students for participating in the program the fry art museum gave them thank you gives including family memberships to the museum  as well as a bag and i think there's a t shirt in there just a bunch of think this as a way to say thank you it's worth the sort of noting that the frye as a museum is public it's dedicated to the public and so th museum is free and people are welcome to come in experience this piece as well was all of the other art in this museum any day that they like and so again part of the idea of having a celebration here  to encourage people to come and see the fry and hopefully to come back and spend more time here my name is laura quinn and i'm here with as a project educator the fry art museum and we started out by thinking about the sixty years of cultural production in the city and we figured that our neighborhood has quite a rich history of cultural production and so it was our venture to go out into the fry community and  do work and so we connected with the yes our community center and we're also thinking about the exhibition moment magnitude and moment magnitude is the scale in which to measure the impact of a earthquake and so thinking about measuring impact one of the things that we were interested in is the impact of the u s or terrorist redevelopment and we wanted to really shift that conversation away from the buildings and towards the people of the community and so i was lucky enough to work with tad hears
