After the first intervention, I discussed the process and feedback with a professional curator. We agreed that it was unlikely that we could completely change a person’s habits and behaviours, but with some slogans we could try to guide and remind them, to prevent other participants’ experiences from being ruined in advance.
I am also curious about what curators usually do to help enhance the visitor’s experience. He said that different exhibitions have different approaches, for example, some have interactive installations to allow visitors to immerse themselves in the exhibition, while others have static olfactory and tactile experiences to give visitors more than just a visual experience. He suggested that I should go to more art exhibitions of different nature to see how they improve the experience and atmosphere in the exhibition.
