For my box project, I wanted to make something fun, so I chose the question mark cube from the Super Mario games. After giving up on GIMP, I used Photoshop to do the cube mapping, and printed it out on the 9880 printer. I put the skin on a 11.5×11.5 inch cardboard box, and stuck it up on the wall in the hallway using Command strips. My idea was to modify behavior by hopefully having people jump up and touch\/headbutt it (as in the game), or if they don\u2019t get the Mario reference, to at least be intrigued by the bright yellow box covered in question marks.<\/p>\n

I wanted to make the box more interactive, ie by adding a sound element, or having something inside it like a dispensable roll of paper with fortune cookie-type stuff on it, but in the interest of time I just left it as it was. I installed last Wednesday evening, and was informed by Angela that it had fallen off on Thursday afternoon. I put it back up with more Command strips and some help from Amos on Monday. Haven\u2019t been able to observe it much, though I did see people looking at it and saw one person touch it. While I\u2019m not sure how much effect it\u2019s had on behavior, I think it does modify the space, particularly since the hallway\u2019s so bare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
