All and all I received some really good feedback today with good suggestions of where I should take my project. The people in my group liked the site-specific aspect of my project. Some exciting suggestions that I received were to make my faces more interactive. Magnetic words that go along with the magnetic faces would be a good idea so that people can come up with their own sentences that relate to the faces and they would also be able to move the face in whatever configuration they choose. Other exciting things that came up were to make more faces that could go in either funny places or in places that don't have people just walk right by in a hurry. Suggestions were a yawning face in a library, an energized face in a coffee shop, a nauseated face on The Cube, and a throwing up face in a bathroom such as NYPD where people would be getting food late at night drunk.
All of these exciting suggestions are also challenging for me. It was harder than I thought to put my faces up in public, because I felt very awkward. I think that it will be harder yet to engage with people to make them interactive and also to put them in places where people will be sitting there for a while watching me put up my work.
I am really trying now to break out of my shell because I would love to create these specific projects to both further my project as a whole and to test different methods in order to narrow in on what I intend my purpose to be.
