one of my favorite things to do in a museum is to watch other people experiencing the art. i like to see how people interact in social spaces- especially introspective social spaces like museums, exhibition halls, and movie theaters. is that the anthropologist in me? or just the natural voyeur? either way, this project is pretty fascinating. and it makes it a lot less creepy when you call it “art”.
