TYPEWRITER

In an attempt to make our exhibition interactive, without forcing it upon the audience, we introduced a typewriter by the ten day poetry section. The audience was invited to write some of their own poetry or thoughts, and the result was completely beyond what we expected. I wondered if people would exploit the unsupervised medium of a typewriter by using profanities or leaving inappropriate messages, but thankfully this was not the case whatsoever. The poetry people wrote was thought provoking and beautiful, and the post-show feedback regarding the typewriter was overwhelmingly positive. It added a personal mood to the piece, and the way it was sectioned off only helped this.
