Designer Unshowing: audience participation!

Here is the piece with audience participation!

I got some great feedback: people noticed themselves focusing in from a broad view to discovering details, they saw boldness in our photographer's interaction as a representative of the audience-participants, curiosity of the audience-photographers, and the closeness of the piece as a whole.

Possibilities include using photo shoot lighting (like umbrellas, bright lights), and having a system for audience members to upload the photos they take.

Here we used their own cameras and phone cameras, which was a great way to easily let them into the piece! The Kickstarter fundraiser isn't doing too well yet (thanks to my one backer!)so we may stick with this method.
