I performed for the second time briefly over lunchtime today from 11 AM - 12:15 PM. I was told it was "an interesting project" by one passerby, and another whom I spoke with at length as I was packing up to go voiced that he felt art is dead. As an overall it seemed that people noticed me but were rushed with work and preparing for the holiday weekend so my timing may not have been great as far as connection.
I am going to integrate another component in this project and create a very open-ended but intently focused hyper-abbreviated survey to engage with people in more ways so the end result reads more as a performance event calling for active participation and offers more opportunity for commentary on viewers' behalves. I shall post the survey responses anonymously here.
Here are a couple of photos from today. I did get a more involved response on the part of a couple of people, and a couple more who spent more time with it reading the poster but not conversing, so I think adding another element can help.
