All 8 of us Trishelle, Matt, Mark, Amanda, Becky, Stephen, Katelin, and Kimberly took shifts living in our student art gallery for 1 week. We ate in there, slept in there, watched movies and did homework. It was a strange feeling being on display at all times; people constantly wanted to be entertained regardless of the hour or if you were trying to do something. On the other hand some people weren't comfortable viewing our exhibit, and they would stay out in the hall and only glance in at what we were doing. We had an interesting week and learned quite a bit about those around us, their comfort levels, and why or why not someone might choose to view our show. I learned the likelihood of visitors coming to view our show increased if they were friends of those in the show, they thought you were sleeping (which I faked several times to observe people), or if they were intrigued by the bizarreness of the temporary apartment display. This was truly a unique experience and not one any of us will forget anytime soon.
