Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

More than 10,000 people see the exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Gallery attendance can measure of the impact of this work. Based on past exhibitions the curator estimates 10,000 visitors. Attendance beyond 10,000 will be considered an indication of success.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The touchable work logged more than 75,000 touch events. A rough estimate of six or seven touches/visitor translates to more than 10,000 unique visitors. Museum estimates of visitor counts, touch counts on one of the works, visual study of how users interact with the work help support the conclusion that we met our goal of 10,000 unique visitors viewing the works. Further, my hours in the gallery confirmed the amount of enthusiasm for interacting with the works and this depth of engagement was spoke to the strength of the work itself to draw users in.
