Dial-A-Screamer

Possible advert image/scenario for the individual Screamer project? This is fairly rough as an image but gives the notion. The only thing is that it is so static and doesn't convey the energy and intensity of the actual compositions, etc. Maybe we need to get a short clip on youtube so people can get a better idea of what they're dealing with??

I do think that a gmail address would be the best way to capture people's memories and descriptions of their plight, etc.

The Dial A Screamer name is sticking and seems to evoke what we want it to but should we consider something else, i have no idea what.....?

now we need to expand the writing beyond the ad which is perfect btw...

attempt #1:
In these tough economic times with tensions running high and financial worry dictating our decisions, The Screamer is an ideal way to exorcise the anguish you may feel after having your house foreclosed on or having been given the pink slip. The Screamer is a modern hero that can be called upon to join you as you revisit a lost home or the job that booted you when times got tough. Maybe your anger runs toward poor governance on the part of your elected leaders and you would like to visit their place of work and express your feelings directly to them? The Screamer is available to hold your hand as you work through the emotional distress that the economic situation has visited upon you.

Call and describe the situation you find yourself in and how The Screamer may assist you in financial catharsis

any suggestions, writing contributions, etc??

postcard idea for the MCCC

The show title is progress (please google Res publica), but any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Also about the design. this one is based in what we talk after the meeting in MCCC, also suggestions ? new idea?

about the radio

I like the idea, great use for the sound recording, couple images that I have collected, I think the structure need some reflection. One technical comment, by pressing the button it activate the recording, so we want people to leave messages. Because the system work with a sensor that detect presence and trigger the sound....I am not sure that I am making this clear.....anyway, great idea keep thinking.

Call for Quotes

Floaters,

we are amassing memorable quotes from all of the actions for the Cafritz show. So rummage through your memories for anything spoken during an action in which you took part and post them to the blog. The text will be installed throughout the exhibition. 

Listening Stations diagram - new idea

a rough sketch of what we could perhaps utilize as a way of expanding and introducing quotations, memories, etc. placing the hand inside it makes it interactive and creates a connection with what is said.

What can be said?
-maybe quotes from neighbors of Mont Coll.
-maybe quotes from previous participants
-maybe introductions to people of the neighborhood or businesses
comments?

Free "Scream" Compositions

In an effort to return to everyone the work that has gone into this project and expand the Scream to the Economy project into people's everyday lives, we have co-opted the commonly seen Starbucks "Pick of the Week" iTunes mp3 card. We have altered the design and text to accommodate the free distribution of several compositions created in collaboration with musical composers. These were printed and today are being distributed to10 Starbucks stores across lower Manhattan (see map), get them now before they're gone. You can get yours by following the instructions on the back of the card below. These compositions do not function like .mp3 downloads, it is a podcast - get episodes
-or on our site here
