Examples of previous FreqOUT! projects have been:

Mobile Movies
In our Mobile Movie workshops, 64 young people worked with the FreqOUT! team to storyboard, shoot and edit mini films on location using mobile phones with video editing technology. In 2007, BBC Blast commissioned the FreqOUT! team to deliver Mobile Movies nationally across 5 cities. Participants learnt about Bluetooth and then ‘Bluetoothed’ their films to the public to raise awareness of positive youth activities to challenge the negative perceptions they often face from society at large through negative press coverage. The recent roll out of the launch of the 21st Century Film Literacy Strategy aims to move film education on from being a series of disconnected experiences to becoming an integral part of every young person's life, Mobile Movies helped achieve this vision.
Perceptual Landscapes Perceptual Landscapes questions who is allowed to create conversations, selects themes and then chooses the way they are visualised. Artists Christian Nold and Daniela Boraschi worked with young people from the Marylebone Bangladeshi Society to record sounds and conversations on Church Street and to visualise these in a map of the geographic locations as well as the social networks of the participants. CCTV Is Following Me Young people learnt about digital CCTV technology and debated the issues around privacy and public safety. With the help of an artist and a film maker and using a camera mounted in the ceiling of their youth club controlled by hand devices they created a five minute film which took an amusing perspective on the issues involved. |

GPS Drawing Workshops Groups of young people were introduced to global positioning technology, its civic applications, and its creative potential. Guided by an artist and an animator/programmer the young people used GPS receivers to trace their walking routes around their estate, and create data patterns and signatures across Battersea Park. |

Emotional Mapping
Young people will have the opportunity to work with artist Christian Nold whose Bio Mapping tool allows the wearer to record their Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) - an indicator of emotional states in conjunction with geographical location. This can be used to plot a map that highlights points of high and low bodily activity. Using the data to construct maps that visualise which locations create stressed or excited responses, Christian will explore the young people’s relationship to their local area. |

The Museum of Now
FreqOUT! is currently working to bring sound artist Jennie Savage to the Harrow Road area of London NW9/10. She will lead a group of young people to write and record fictional stories inspired by their local area. The recordings will be broadcast along the Harrow Road during this week this coming summer. The public, drawn in by roaming invigilators equipped with portable radios and by the general spectacle will pick up wireless headphones from nearby collection points. Engaging with the artwork as they walk they will encounter an installation that responds as they move.
