Installation Kit #1 was a performative sculpture that
provided basic materials to the viewers to
be installed in the space provided.
A blank chart was attached to the back wall for participants to document
themselves and the time they interacted with the sculpture.
Every viewer was encourage to interact with the objects
provided in any way they wished.
Over the course of the night the sculpture evolved into an impromptu installation that provided more information about the participants, than the sculpture itself. Instead of people interacting with the materials provided in a Duchampion weaving of the space like manner, people were mostly destructive. Through out the night a digital camera was cut in half, a whole roll of tape was un-raveled and gathered into a ball, and a radio was disassembled. What does this say about people when they are given complete freedom to interact in any way they choose?
After understanding the energy of the crowed through out the night I decided to end the sculpture with abrasive action.
