How to share your stories:
Call & Text
the Blue Line!
763-313-2876
This is a dedicated phone line for community members both on and off campus that would like to leave a voicemail or text message as their story.
​
The Blue Line is a physical iPhone installed on campus – no one will answer the phone, and no one can see who is calling / texting aside from your moderator, the artist.
​
They will hear it, though! Volume is turned up and hooked to a speaker to project. Though you are away, you may have your presence known.
​
These messages will be collected by the artist, either transcribed or run through an audio program to retain anonymity, then posted to the website.​
Be sure to check out the Community Guidelines for further details on privacy considerations.
​
On campus presence: In addition to the soundscape of the iphone ringing and pinging, there are 2 TV screens that will show quotes pulled from the website. Additionally, there is an iMac station where visitors may leave stories under a guest account, and view the website in its entirety. There will be audio quotes from a speaker in the Emeritus Gallery.

Leave a Written Story
There are a few options here for you. ​There is the Forum linked below, where community members may post a story and have the comments section open to have a longer conversation. Each post will be held until the artist moderator can review for community safety.
Or – you may either text the Blue Line or send an email here: holdingspaceatmcad@gmail.com
The artist moderator will then post it to the website Forum section.
