projections

After another brainstorm with Minotte and Susan and Andi and Meg from the Berwick, I have decided to do a trial run, connecting the Smith House with 10 Williams St.

The Smith House is a housing complex for seniors and contains many people who have lived a long time in the Dudley area. 10 Williams is a newly converted Condo building and is part of a movement towards gentrification of Dudley. It includes people who are relatively new to Dudley Sq.

The buildings are less than a block away and we figure it was a good way to see if we can get people to talk to each other, people who are neighbors ,but perhaps don't realize it. Another idea was to arrange it with the Haley House Coffee shop ( which is right between them), that if the residents from both places wanted to meet in person, after talking virtually, we would provide free coffee and bagels.

So if we set this up in the lobbies of each space we will be able to use projections instead of the screens and it will be a lot cheaper, so i have abandoned for the moment, the screen ideas and have been concentrating just on projections, and trying to get permission from 10 Williams and Smith House.
