December 2nd

Today was the day that my partner and I had been working towards for the past several weeks...implementation day. We had made adjustments to our exhibit according to the critiquing that we received during the in class presentation of our exhibit, and we are both very happy with the results of the adjustments. Mostly what we had done was to make the intended path that the participant is meant to take to perform their interpretation much more clear. Adding a few more arrows, making the individual instruction steps clearer, and other things of that nature. We set our exhibit up at 8:00 in the morning, and took it down at 7:00 at night, and we were present mostly from 11-1, with brief visits during different times throughout the day. Overall, the number of participants that participated in the activity was a bit disappointing, but we were very pleased with the level of interest, and the amount of time spent by the participants at our exhibit. It was very difficult sitting there for those two hours, watching people pass by, look at the exhibit, then keep walking. There were moments when I would have liked to start flagging people down, but due to my reserved nature, thoughts didn't turn into actions. I am glad that the project is now almost at a close, and also glad that the exhibit that Xiong and I had worked so hard at was not a complete flop. In the future, if I were to do something like this again, I have a few adjustments that I would make, but I think it would definitely be easier to create an interactive exhibit that people could enjoy with my newly found creative skills for this type of endeavor.
