Desire

June 14th, 2006

This is the first Train Tracks thematic program. This program should be started when you get on any East Bay bound train from the 24th street station in the Mission district of San Francisco.

Desire

Program Description:

This programs explores the different ways desire is expressed on the train. From (or deliberately not) sitting next to an attractive person to heavy petting, hear BART riders tell stories about attraction, hedonistic cars and the subtle, everyday exchanges of desirous glances.

interview process

April 21st, 2006

I am still working on an audio program to distributed. It’s coming soon! I did another interview this morning. I met with a participant at Rockridge BART and we rode to Civic Center. The train was too crowded to comfortably start the recording and dialogue so we did the interview in the Civic Center station instead. This was the first participant that I did not know before the interview. He is a friend of a friend. I think it went really well. He had a lot of insightful observations about the people around him and their actions on BART. He is really supportive of train tracks and will hopefully participate more in the future.
