Evaluation

The intent was there and the means to have a fully successful performance was there as well. The downfall of this performance was a lack of audience coordination. While this got better as the performance progressed, a simple explanation of what was going to happen would have made this happen more immediately and in a less awkward manner. As a whole, nothing went critically wrong, but we are our own worst critics. In our eyes (as well as many others), this could have gone much better if we had properly coordinated with the audience. Again, the performance got better as it progressed, but it could have had a much better start. The intent was matched quite well, but we could have done a better job achieving the desired outcome.

The biggest changes to make for a new iteration would be to:

1) Coordinate with the audience before starting to make sure that they know what is going on.

2) Raise the noise floor on the visualizer to a point where it only picks up sounds produced by members of the audience, rather than every little noise made in the room.
