It was somewhat unfortunate that there wasn’t much of an audience for our installation but at the end of the day it didn’t really make much of a difference. Obviously if we had multiple groups going through the rooms we might have been able to change configuration of the offices in response to audience feedback. It would have also been beneficial to gauge the success of the installations ability to convey the narrative. Not only would it have been intriguing to see how other people found it but also how they went about gathering information and how individual their experience was.
I guess the upside of this was that we had more of an opportunity to interview Rachel and Dan and to gauge their experience. If the event had transpired as we had planned it, with a number of sessions, I’m doubtful we would have been able to get the same quality feedback. Not too mention it also meant that we had ample time to pack up all our gear and get it back to the techs before they left which was an undercurrent fear throughout the day.
