A note in the Atrium (and further developments)

I was working last Wednesday, because that's what I've ended up doing on Wednesdays every week. So, I wasn't in when another exhibition was being set up in the Atrium. When I got in this morning, there it was: another exhibition. A note was left resting at the base of my Atrium experiment, asking that if I want it to be in the Atrium and be a part of the exhibition, then all I'd need do is e-mail the address that was left behind.

Fair enough. I was going to take it down today anyway. But if I'm being invited to keep it there, then I'm equally happy to do so. That leaves me a lot more time to, perhaps, record some interaction. The only downside to this is that it's been the Easter weekend, and the university is apparently closed from Friday, all the way through to Wednesday. So, I may not be able to film anything until then. Given that that I'm at work on Wednesday, I won't be in until Thursday. I have to say, that's beyond annoying.

Anyway. here's how it looks now, next to some other funky piece:

They got back to me by e-mail at the end of the day, and it seems that they're pretty excited to have me as part of their exhibition. Excellent. As a result of becoming an unwitting element to this event, they just needed the following information, of which I indulged:

Name of piece: 
Coniglio Trial 2

Description:
This interactive piece is named after Mark Coniglio, a pioneering media practitioner of integrated performance art and digital technology. It invites the audience to explore and consider their engagement with exhibited art, albeit digital video capture and rendering through Isadora - a proprietary graphics programming software with emphasis on real-time digital manipulation. 

If there is a statement, then it is still in testing. But for now, Coniglio Trial 2 is an encouragement for interacting with all art in whatever form it takes, be it gesturing in front of the object before you, or responding to equally vivid artwork in the space, thus enhancing the social dynamic of an exhibition. 

Course of study:
MA Interaction Design

I've also put together a quick questionnaire about the piece and given them out to those who've interacted with the piece, but I may do this further at the launch (assuming I'm not at work).
