Workshop session 3 - Felix

Participant feedback (in-class) Thursday (21 May) 

Participant #1 suggestion 

• Taking message out of bottle would be difficult (time consuming?) 
• Bottles are good choice 
• Message should be hidden well (privacy/ read before taking out) 
• Motivational elements, colours, large in size
• Attraction of the installation 
• Need to encourage to people writing things on the board 
• Pre-fill messages

Participant #2 suggestion 

• No interaction? 
• Fun part missing (how to attract people to participate) 
• No emotional connection

Participant #3 suggestion 

• First step should stand-out and attract people 
• The scale of the message (need restriction?) 
• Confused about purpose, why would you swap a message?
• What if the message is negative
• Easy to understand 
• Not complicated, but need more invitation/fun

Individual feedback from user test of potential installation participant 

Participant #4 

UQ postgraduate student majors in Management of Tourism.

Feedback:

Complexity:
The installation is easy to understand.

Motivation to participate
Depends on what is already on the board.
It would be highly motivated to read the other’s message on the board.
Not read the message on the board = not participate.

Suggestions?
The idea is good but perhaps a frame of leaving message is necessary.
The feedback toward an individual from the installation is little, as the only feedback is “seeing your own message”. If there is a board with sticks (notes with words), people would be very likely to read them, but to persuade them leaving own messages needs more excitement other than random messages.
