I thought that the method you used was creative, and using the drone to get the pictures made it look pretty cool. i also really liked the meaning behind your piece, because I agree with your sentiments about Walking to the Sky. However, I don't know if people would pay for it. Although there are probably students at CMU who would pay you to vandalize it, that's against the project constraints so I can see why you didn't do that. Maybe temporarily vandalizing it would have passed?
Sweet project. Your use of the drone and projection bombing was very unique, and I think fits the spirit of both the assignment and this course perfectly. The fallen man gives a sort of morbid feeling that I think really meshes well with your feelings towards the piece. However, I actually really liked Walking to the Sky, and i thought of it as a representation of people thinking and acting in a different dimension than others, all enabled by education and whatnot. Very nice job :D
Your project is really impressive! The amount of research and effort you put into creating the intended effect really shines through. I'm not sure if I would make the connection between the fallen silhouette and "Walking to the Sky," however, so perhaps some additional considerations with placing the silhouette or maybe reconsidering your representation of a "fall from grace" (another silhouette at the top? Hanging from the top of the pole (perhaps too morbid)?) would rectify this issue. However, that does not retract at all from the fact that the message is clear and probably resonates strongly with your target audience.
This is a really cool project! Great job thinking out of the box, I was definitely impressed. Appreciated the research you put into it, as well as using the drone to take pics. The only criticism I would have is that I'm not sure how you would sell this? maybe paying for admission to see the project. However you might decide to market it, you did an awesome job creating an interesting project.
