Idea
We decided to make an installation that would make people curious, interact and behave differently than expected. We wanted to incorporate our sences: vision hearing touching smelling and invite nature into our grey, urban square. The installations were made of buckets with a peephul mounted on a wooden stick. One was hung on the existing sculpture on Sankt Hans Torv. Before placeing the installations we observed how people used the square and what their movement patterns were. We strategically placed them in their way to see if people would stop and act on it.

Does changing the color attract more attention?

Color invites you to play

Yes!

Testing result

Despite the added interest it should be noted that a large majority of the public still did not engage with the newly colored installations
