Who am I ? What was the goal?

✤ Social

✤ Personal expression in a legal and publicly accepted way

✤ Humanizing the interaction of the system

✤ Feeling more included in a public space

✤ Sharing = caring



Research question

✤ How to design a public digital art installation with digital augmentation to physical spaces to increase people’s feeling of inclusion and connectedness?

Explorations





Experiments setup

✤ Where? The cafeteria of the auditorium at the Eindhoven University of Technology

✤ Why? Uncommon for the same group of people to pass through the cafeteria of the auditorium

✤ When? Between 11.30 AM and 1.45PM on Tuesdays and Fridays, not every day in the hope of less of a learning effect © Sophie Brenny and Jun Hu, Eindhoven University of Technology, Department of Industrial Design


Instruments used

✤ Social Connectedness Revised Scale (high internal reliability of a=0.86 - 0.89) (R.M.Lee, M. Draper, and S. Lee, )

✤ Inclusion of Community in Self

✤ Interviews



Participants

✤ 100 students (Bachelor, Master & PhD)

✤ Aged between 18 to 33 with a average of 22.31

✤ 61 men and 39 women



Data Analysis

✤ SPSS

✤ One way ANOVA

✤ Bonferroni correction applied



tests

✤ two control test



tests

✤ test A



✤ test B

Conclusions

✤ H1: When giving people a designated place to express themselves with tools to do so, they will not do so.

✤ The beauty of the concept “Leave your mark” lies in its simplicity and the ease for people to step in and out creating a reasonably low threshold.

✤ Limitation of the results due to the experimental setup

✤ Interesting start to inspire future work and explorations in public digital art installations with digital augmentation to public spaces in cities.



Thank you for you attention!
