‹KylaG› I'm all for anything that brings a little weirdness into an otherwise "normal" space.
‹Bill› I love seeing the variety in people's reactions on the subway platform.

‹ndef› @Bill Go check out Sonic Forest during the day... you get the same thing. Lots of people walking by with different reactions to it.
‹Bill› will do! Want to mosey over after seminar?
‹Little› is the one in the NYC subway still there? I don't remember seeing that ever and I used that station often.
‹dread› has been fun to see the various approaches to the forest : on skateboards, bikes, even a little facilties truck doing a few drivebys to touch the poles..
‹ndef› He's brought this concept of a riddle "unlocking" a special display to a couple different projects. It seems like a clever way to create engagement.

‹Bill› I like the "hand" labels, in terms of usability.
‹ndef› Yeah, I had the same comment. They're great. You can see people come up and immediately know how to interact with them.

‹MAnnetta› This forest goes to 11.
‹KylaG› Oh snap.
‹MAnnetta› oh, references to Spinal Tap are compliments of the highest order in my mind.
‹notbatman› strongly agree with this thing about layers
