with the knowledge that it is not just summer, but it is year round. we have to make better investments. that is why i was so happy when the other city departments, not just their teachers and administrators during the best they can, but we joined with other departments, our libraries, and our public works department, offering some connections, and when you find out steps they got together with housing authority to offer summer access for free to kids who could not afford it, that says something about our commitment to enriching the lives of our youth, because it will never only be the school district said have this responsibility. it has to be the need for others to stepped-u up to create that o

opportunity. the village concept has to embrace the future of our kids, and that is why i have always been happy. other people keep asking me, are you enjoying the mayor? that is a strong word, but there are moments i do enjoy it. those are when our kids are involved. they think, is the city is doing anything for me so that i can get a job in richmond, so i can get training? and because i look at these high-tech jobs. the future economy is going to demand higher skills. what do we do about that?

not only are we enriching the lives of our kids, but we are a listing all of the downtown members of our chamber of commerce, all of them to join us and to create miniature ships and and skill sets so our kids can have a foundation for these -- to create mentor's ships -- mentorships and skill sets so our kids can have a foundation. we have extended those summer opportunities and when we knew there were gaps. we found that last year when advocates said there were going to be 400 or 500 kids that were going to fail in math and science, and we said we were going to offer summer classes so they would not fail. we are going to continue doing

that. when we create the jobs that thing for them to have those skills they are going to need to be successful. that is how we are going to have to go throughout the state. in every opportunity you provide, we go well beyond our school district in. i am going to see if we can do more so they go beyond the classroom. thank you for joining us.

this instigates a lot of my enthusiasm for our kids, superintendent garcia. >> good afternoon. >> if i went down the list, we would be here all day, but it is special to be here with the superintendent of schools the support us, and i know maria does a fabulous job with us, and when you look at all the difference funders and nonprofits that step up to

support us, i want to say thank you, because the rest of the state is not like san francisco. everybody thinks we are a little out there, but we are out there in the right direction. we are out there to provide things for our children. we are providing a service. we are cutting all our funds for summer school. i want to thank representatives who are here. all of us get hit did against each other. all of us are here to say there is nothing more important than our children.

the board of supervisors, the mayor came to our rescue. immediately they came so our kids can keep learning. we are closing the achievement gap, and that cannot happen unless we have a good summer programs to keep our youth engaged. they need to be engaged, and education needs to happen every single day. what a great place for a campus if you were a student if you were to go around this city.

it is not just talking about it but actually stepping up and doing something about it. thank you to all of you. i have her two daughters. come on up here. >> can my lower this? thank you all very much for

being here today. dealing with the things we are talking about. i run an after-school program. i am rare. most families need summer for their kids to be. now they need somewhere that is safe. they need somewhere to continue to build the strength and they work so hard for during the school year, and they need interesting things that do not already get packed into and and

and and and and new school year. they need a place the kids are -- they do not already get packed into in the school year. they need things that are fun. gooi really want to speak to all the partnerships of make it possible, community-based organizations. we need all of its. we can talk all day about the achievement gap, but it really comes down to what i hear parents say, which is where it will be safe? where is a good program? i can say there are a lot of good programs of support our kids, and we are very lucky for

all of that. they are our future, and we need to be supporting all of our students so they have an opportunity to bring us the next generation of computers and technology. they are better at it than we are in the way. thank you 3 much, and please continue supporting summer programs. >> thank you, michelle. i just want to echo the recognition of the united educators of san francisco for being here today. we want to maintain the great work they do during the year and send the kids back to the classroom on track during the fall. we are hoping all of you will be

able to stay and talk with us some more. thank you all for being here.

sfgtv@sfgov.org or reach out to us on facebook or twitter and we >> the question when i started 11 years ago when i started doing resolution work is can anything be presented on a really low resolution device where it is potentially a digital image? can anything be presented that way? or will it feel cold and electronic? >> the imagery will change. there will be four different sets.

it is a two dimensional image. it is stretched out into three dimensions. the device is part of the experience. you cannot experience the image without the device as being part of what you are seeing. whereas with the tv you end up ignoring it. i make gallery work more self and budget and public art work where i have to drop this of indulgence and think about how people will respond. and one of the things i was interested in the work and also a little fearful of, it is not until you get to the first and second floor were the work is recognizable as an image.

it is an exploration and perception is what it is. what are you seeing when you look at this image? one of the things that happens with really low resolution images like this one is you never get the details, so it is always kind of pulling you in kind of thing. you can keep watching it. i think this work is kind of experience in a more analytical way. in other words, we look at an image and there is an alice going on. -- and there is an analysis going on.
