16. What did you most like about the total exhibition?
Practitioner 1 The way we had little rooms and windows into other
people’s little rooms so that kind of worked for me.
Practitioner 2 It had a nice feeling about it.
Practitioner 3 It was interesting, it was engaging – something that you
wanted to explore.
Practitioner 4 It was the breadth of work covered, definitely. To be able to
walk into one basic space and see so many different things.
The Art Gallery (Siggraph) is such a big thing but in that big
space they didn’t cover that diversity of work that was
covered in the small space in Lancaster.
Practitioner 5 The diversity of it… It was very random; the objects weren’t
coherent to each other, but the underlying theme was.
Practitioner 6 Seeing and experiencing the unexpected.
The practitioners were asked what they most liked about the exhibition in its
entirety. 2 (33%) responded that it was the atmosphere and physical
appearance of the show. 2 (33%) cited the diversity of work presented. 2 (33%)
indicated the unanticipated nature of the work was foremost in their
satisfaction.
17. What did you least like about the total exhibition?
Practitioner 1 I guess the location: Lancaster.
Practitioner 2 Maybe it could have been less local in terms of location
and audience.
Practitioner 3 The venue.
Practitioner 4 The space – it worked really well for some things but it just
worked less for others.
Practitioner 5 I think I was ok with it. I didn’t come away from it feeling it
fell short – I think it did what it set out to do. There are no
negative thoughts from it.
Practitioner 6 The office-like space.
