FIAT LUCE, RIFIUTI, MISTERO: Two Propositions for Participation and One Prognostication for Bologna, Italy. Created in response to a competition for Bologna public art.
Preparatory Notes:
Ask the least, so the most can be included.
Conceive parts the performers (the participants) can easily follow yet allow them to understand how they are essential to the whole.
Let there be uncomplicated actions asked of the participants, making interaction accessible and non-intrusive, and then generously return evidence, in great scale, as a reward for public engagement.
Present a spectacle, viewable from space, or a show of sustainable fashion, without cynicism, to further the principles of participation.
Participation should be a catalytic engine for further ideas.
Allow the individual to have a part in creating something unique along with a multitude of others.
