This intereaction should be at least one of the following: surprising, amazing, meaningful, bewildering, shocking, and/or thought-provoking.
Comments
This sounds like the coolest project and a great opportunity to be creative in making something "bewildering" and/or "thought-provoking."
I hope some of the participants post their creations on this site.

It is open to the public. You can stop in! We will have pix on flickr but it won't be the same as being here.

Oh! Our platter-themed projects were fun, and a good window into each person's whimsey. So I'm sorry to miss this! Sitting at home, taking video game painkillers for a sore throat.

That's awesome, but I am finishing my undergraduate degree way over in Michigan at the moment, so unfortunately I can't just swing by.
I totally have an idea for what I would do too. I'll have to save it. Perhaps at another time I'll be closer and able to participate in such a project.

Nice "Beat Box" Mike. It definitely would be a highly interactive experience for anybody who came upon it. I also saw someone posted about his cabinet that takes video when the door is open and then plays it back later, which sounds pretty neat.
