Reflection

Briefly outline what you took away from this project. What did you learn? What would you do differently?

If I were to do this project differently, I would have planned our installation around a space rather than a wall. I believe that having our tree hang from a wall ultimately limits its potential as a source of collaboration. Ultimately, we were so caught up in the idea of walls that it did not even occur to us to go horizontal rather than vertical. As a result, I have learned that it is easy to become complacent in one's ideas. I believe that with practice, I can become more open minded and forward thinking about how to plan an installation. 

Also, we would have made more branches and spread the tree to a larger spatial scale. As is mentioned in the critique section, the tree would turn out more interactive and would more effectively present our theme, "choices" if we can spread our tree out instead of sticking it to the wall. These changes will make our project more interactive.
