UW Art : Sculpture Tour

Stemming off from our postcard project, our podcast is the next step in our campaign to raise awareness about the University’s lack of initiative to replace or conserve damaged artworks, or to add to its meager collection. Our podcast is broken up into six smaller audio files plus an introduction, each featuring a different work of public sculpture around the University of Waterloo’s campus (the most prevalent and public form of campus art). Individually, each clip elaborates on the history and evolving story of the piece, as well as gives insight into efforts (or absences of effort) towards conservation. As a whole, they form a guided tour around the campus. There are a number of ways that people can explore our podcast. People may join our group on facebook and _listen to the files there__, or visit our entry page on myspace. Both of these websites are popular social networking tools Via _wordpress? myspace?_ people may download our files as mp3s and upload them to their own personal mp3 players, music phones, etc. so that they may experience the podcast as an actual guided walking tour, and see the artwork—or absence thereof. Also could send recordings of our podcast on CDs to faculty members How Successful?
