A quote will play every 15 minutes, starting from 9:00am. It will synchronize with a clock in its location, starting when the clock strikes 9:00am. My intent is to create a pleasant surprise for people. Everyone knows at least one good movie and if not, they will still get a kick out of the installation anyway and might get inspired to watch those movies. The installation consists of an mp3 player (ipod), charger box (speakers within it), and any clock in the room. Anyway, you guys should go check it out today! I'll be de-installing and taking it home at 4:45ish, so try to catch it before then! :)
I tried uploading the mp3 file to the website, but it's too big (8 hours long) and wouldn't download. However, I did post a brief video of my audio installation in the School of Art office, which shows you one quote.
I plan to hopefully speak with the light rail people to see if I can permanently install it in the light rail. I think that would be a pretty cool level up with my idea, especially because people can get bored in the light rail, specifically late night. Perhaps listening to this time, the top 100 quotes of all time will make a difference in their experience on the light rail!
