This was my interaction with an audience during the preview opening for Designated Viewpoint on Monday the 12th of November.
My studio work is about the people not recognising how bacteria spreads and causes serious health problems, my aim is to raise the awareness of how important it is to kill the bacteria before it spreads. I am in the process of trying out an installation that will interact with the audience by making them wear protection before entering an area that to them would seem hazardous, the exhibition allowed me to show a small piece of work including Petri dishes. These were full of harmless honey and sanitizer but the viewers were not informed of this, I left masks and gloves with a message to the viewers enforcing that they had to wear them while viewing the work due to fast spreading bacteria. Only a handful of people engaged with the idea of interacting with the piece, so this means I need to go bigger and be strict on the rules of entering a hazardous zone.
I am looking forward to seeing the results.
