Vote With Your Feet
"Vote With Your Feet" is an interactive installation that displays questions crowd-sourced from a website, and collects street-sourced answers through the symbolic action of binary voting by walking through one of two gateways.
In its three-day debut in downtown San Francisco, over 10,000 votes were cast on over 80 questions. Crowds formed and heated debate and laughter was heard as the display rotated through political (Trump or Hitler), reflective (are you happy?), and whimsical (would you dance through the door?) questions. All tallies are broadcast in real time on twitter and shared on the project web site. The conversation started at the installation lives beyond the interaction and plays a new role in community involvement.
