Take your ball and go home.

The observer has a critical role in these pieces, without the viewer, the piece is really just a pile of material and somewhat simple wiring. At this point it is difficult to say where exactly the viewer comes into play, and how, but the viewer will have to make choices about the level of involvement that they have, and those decisions will ultimately control outcome of the piece.

Several interfaces were considered, and may be enacted. from a motion control system, where the viewer is noticably a part of the piece, and controling it though thier actions. The movements that they make and the time that they spend with a piece will control the volume and mass of the piece itself. A timed cycle originally persented itself as an obvious solution to the problem, but it removes the level of control from the piece in the end. Esentially the viewer becomes a finger operating a light switch which inevitably turns off.

So if motion, how about a direct control, that way there is obvious viewer control and freedom to exit the piece at whatever time things get out of hand for the viewer.

The pushbutton switch, something that a "volunteer" can operate, that will momentarily activate tha system, as well as de activate when the viewer becomes complacent, intimidated or just plain bored with what is happening.


A thermostat, which only activates sculptureal system when enough people have assembled to see it.

Lights shounds colors and rumors there isnt much to report on until any of it becomes factual.
