USER EXPERIENCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Toggle between layers to view the map by borough and plan a walking tour.
2. Use only the “visual map” layer to take a virtual tour.
3. Consider the following questions:
(a) How do we encounter art?
(b) Should the audience of an art piece always be a willing spectator?
(c) What implications does this hold for how we define “art” – must it always be circumscribed by “art space”?
(d) What questions do these uncertainties give rise to when applied to public art?
(e) Can the viewing public claim ownership over an art piece (see red markers for destroyed art)?
