Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Designing and developing online interfaces for interacting with my work will give me the technological skills and vocabulary I need to engage my audience in a new kind of experience. By the end of the grant term, I will have built a web interface that will promote and track the success of my project. I will better understand how to guide an art experience using various web tools. 2: An outdoor and public exhibition of my work can be found using online mapping, or geocaching, tools, creating a self-directed art experience in nature for any Minnesotan. In addition to visitor tracking, the website will have areas for participants to leave their thoughts about their experience with the project. I will be able to see how many people have visited, and how they’ve engaged with my work.
