Group Reflection

I believe it is important to consider about what people would usually do at a particular site in order to promote viewers' participation. Choosing an inappropriate location may inhibit interaction. For instance, people may walk by without paying attention to the wire tree if it is put in the corner or the quiet study area. The scale of the installation piece also really matters and in general large-scaled works look better. Light, sound and projector are effective tools in the aspect of augmenting the effect if the scale is not big enough. A successful installation piece should integrate into the physical environment. Also, pragmatically, we need to be able to adjust to unexpected conditions. Things went relatively smoothly, but after we finished the tree, we found out that our original plan of having 6 charging cables couldn't really be realised, so we cut down the size and used only 2. Instead, we chose to layer the bird sounds with just 2 charging cables.
