4:33 pm
from the bay area and we shared with them what we do and how we see the world how we see our purpose and asked them to come up with artist installation 36 throughout the building that represent their interpretation of who dolby labs is and where dolby labs is going i couldn't be more thrilled with the results some took the interpretation limiting and did their work and created exhibits make you think about so you aren't i sound and sites into our daily lives their change as you interact with them it starts the moment you walk into if building hopefully, you had a chance to notice the video wall a audio visual art installation it was created by a local artist it is ever changing and the
4:34 pm
system it also ever changing that will evolve over time something on the communities seize a little bit of the tip of the iceberg to what's happening and between those walls i'm excited the next navigations the team partnered with a local high school and a group of high schools students as an extension of the art program learning to fireman that wall that will be one of the upcoming installations in our new home so we really created an intersection of art and science and communities and we really, really excited about that now, of course, is starts with scientific and engineering it also has this building is a working looter we've dwraetd a working lab 65 thousand square feet of lab space hundred labs
4:35 pm
it is starting with the design so a good practices to start we started thinking of the biophysical place of business lab this is y where we study how little brain reacts to sight and sounds and discovered not long ago when people are experiencing one of the newest visual technologies it will be coming to the world's through video in a few months time we learned they have a physical response to images of fire when dead on arrival by vision were take advantage it was a vice rally response that remind me of the first time i experiences download by our audio system we were i've been terribly alone and forgotten in manhattan between dead on arrival by and
4:36 pm
dead on arrival by sound it was i heard it a millions times it sound like rain when it went to dead on arrival by i felt i was about to get wet i looked for my uncle umbrella that's why we start that the science of art and sound and any time we have looks about where we can emulate the film invitations and mobile online and those labs are throughout the building that is really, really important part of the working lab we didn't which i see one or two floors and makes the labs with key cards and fingertips those are throughout the building where people are working virtually throughout the floors you'll find labs where people are working and doing their daily work
4:37 pm
one of the our big labs we just groundbreaking break ground that as a full dead on arrival by the cinema this is the most way to experience it is going to be a working lab it is going to be a place where the creative communities can come and work on this is an projects we're looking forward to finding opportunities to have community and host community events we're looking forward to that in the, of course, also a home it is a home for 7 hundred and 50 employees in san francisco it is a hearing aids for over 18 hundred employees around the globe one of the things we set out to do this was a big change to create more open space more common areas we call them interaction hubs a big change i can't will you how those come to
4:38 pm
life and use the way they were tendency have chosen not to have an office i don't have a cue i'm working throughout the building i might take two or three days and spend it in moving up and down the building i've hunting had the opportunity we rely obtain or on structure and non-structural scombaksz i've observed those unstructured reaction people are spending time with others and ideas are shared and timely parts of innovation occur that is wonderful to see how it comes it together so, now when we moved to this building we, of course, are not new to san francisco a member of
4:39 pm
the san francisco community for nearly 40 years and really existed to move to this revigils mid market neighborhood we wanted to learn about our neighborhood we started is it actually before we moved in the team put in a lot of effort to go out and familiarize themselves with local businesses part of their orientation was a in violation of section to visit the local businesses and restaurants and met the local are proprietors learning and helping to people thinks what we're about and reached to do u out to to a number of communities and last year the company volunteered over 2 thousand hours of local service.

4:41 pm
deeper partnerships than that our employees are really enjoying the opportunity to share their time in the communities anticipate their expertise there is sometimes, you know, in doing gardening and korean and outlines things we've found times to share the expertise the legal communities or can be sound like engineers helping with a film or broadcast program or just been a fantastic way to learn about our new home and new neighborhood (clapping.) >> i want to close my remarks with a quote it is a quote from ray our founder ray continues to be an inspiration to all our employees around the world at dead on arrival by the always been an
4:42 pm
inspiration had an opportunity to see one of the early employees and worked with ray everybody the years and spent time in the building and at the end of his tour he tell me if ray were here he would love, love this new space that meant the world to me so i want to close with a quote from ray to be advertent our you have to be willing to live with a sense of uncertainty to work it this darkness and grow up for an answer to put up with anxiety about whether it is conceive he love that quote that quote politics to innovation and equally applies to life in general and applies to dead on arrival by the and the city of

4:48 pm
blend art, survives and contingency science and communities that is what living in san francisco perhaps is about or pretty much the majority off people came here with the blends so when we starting looking at market street we invited first and foremost a lot of art people to come art people are not afraid of anything (laughter) >> yeah, we said they'll look at space and reinvent and invite people to experience that and we invited our arts foundation and a number of art organizations that took over the city storefronts and tried something visually and they led the effort
4:49 pm
and gave us an incredible foundation which we invited them more entrepreneurs to come here and today, there is over 189 companies here a number of them, of course, took advantage of the payroll exception for the 5 blocks but deadline by the other two companies that didn't and we said they have some faith in what we wanted to contribute that tax before the accident a bacteria was a not the attraction about what they're about what the gift they're about to unwrap for all of us i'm as excited as those kids i'm looking at that this as a gift to me and the people that wanted this after the greatest street
4:50 pm
in our whole city to be a gift to the rest that blends art, science, and communities and guess what embodied in this company is those attributes not only the art the way it is prepared and the invitation by this incredible moving piece of art that is on the walls that kids will be able to actually help create that's an incredible contribution the employees the hours 2 thousand i suspect thousand in the future because everybody i think will want to have a connection with what dead on arrival by the it is isn't area phones it isn't sound but probably about the experience and having that blend in life
4:51 pm
science is at the heart of what you do and understanding that the citizenry of human nature is about science well burglary be an if i believe invitation to innovative innovate with all the labs it exists by the about what innovation is all about and ultimately you have that big heart it is what san francisco really is about us sharing not only prosperity but your talent with each and in that sharing in that collaboration building on each other more success i think you're giving here and you're already collaboration with the new nonprofit you've made a few and some of them are incredible do incredible work like the women's audio mission and st. anthony's and be like all the
