Things I picked up from the crit:
> things in college got a better reaction as people are used to things being a bit weird therefore just go along with it. However there is a question as to wether or not these same ideas would work in a public space where people are not used to being told what to do. having to conform to certain restrictions.
> When things are displayed in public they need to be big and oversized so that people don't miss them.
> Things should be more explicit in public as it is unusual to see things such as stickers/ tape on the ground therefore it needs to be made more obvious how people should react with them.
> Bold statements need to be used.
> Tape worked best, especially thick tape as it is most visible and is very versatile.
Things we could've considered
> Finding an existing sign and modifying it
> Applying rules from Frutiger's book such as squares and circles as a sign
> Be more ambitious
> Tried different media if it wasn't raining
> Setting up a camera on a tripod to get more footage
The answer to our initial question is no, people did not stick to this. A lot of people pulled at it or took the string down rather than let it block their way.
Overall I think the task worked better in terms of creating an interaction rather than it causing a diversion. If we were to do this again I would use more string to create a thicker barrier and possible use it across more of the pillars to cause a bigger disturbance.
