The installation itself satisfied all of our initial design goals, but there was one thing lacking that we didn't forsee: the number of people who stopped to meaningfully interact with our sculpture was even lower than the low amount we anticipated, for a number of reasons. The primary two, however, were a little disheartening to watch occur with such frequency: The first was that most students were primarily occupied with their work, came in, sat down quickly, and didn't move until they left. The second reason was significantly more depressing: most people walk around the library staring at their phones.
Given a second iteration, we'd probably add a small, subtle sound component to try and non-aggressively lift people's attention from their electronic devices in hopes of catching more eyes in a passive way.
