Public Engagement

The student invigilators were an important feature of the public engagement strategy - dressed in bright orange hoodies to compliment the colour scheme used in the installation - they gathered feedback from the visiting public. Demolition Take Down developed a simple and quick survey for the students engaging with members of the public. The design of the installation provided opportunities for passive engagement or more in-depth engagement depending on the level of interest of the visitor.
