Atrium Experiment - Progress

I've finally got the piece up and running in the Atrium space, and ye gods is it a lovely, sunny day! In fact, it's a bit overly sunny; so much so that I can barely register the reactive object in the space. So, what I've decided to do tomorrow is to move the piece into a better, slightly darker corner in an environment that is otherwise rich with natural light. People will be walking past this spot more often when coming and going through the double doors near this corner. Not to mention that there is an accessible power source concealed in the floor itself, so it's just a matter of moving the piece literally across the room. 

In the meantime, here's how it has sat today:



As one can see, it's a pretty bright day. Unfortunately, that may have subtracted from the presentation of the piece. Apart from the odd and curious individual, the experiment so far has simply blended in too much with the environment. I can tell that people can at least register the fact there is some kind of art piece being displayed as they've glanced at it, but so far, nothing fruitful enough on engagement. Hopefully, this will be rectified with tomorrow's plan... and I believe I'll be trying to film it as well.
