Relationship between viewer/space? Building with street and surround areas?

1. How does your experience have an affect on the viewer’s relationship between their body and space/place
2. Consider spatial relationship with installation and downtown Moscow, UI? 
3. The silo exterior looks abandoned, but with this installation it activates this portion of the street.
4. Connection with Moscow First Thursday

Element of Community Interaction

Analog responses - take Polaroid to add to installation
