Dear Emily, I remember that Ben Gammon, when he was working at the Science Museum, did some evaluation of art installations that were part of the Wellcome Wing exhibitions. (You may have already been able to get hold of this research through Wellcome) As I understand it, the context of the science museum had a big impact on how people understood the art. Because visitors were in a science museum, they weren't expecting to see art and so either didn't recognise what they had seen as art, or perceived it in a far more literal sense than if they had seen the same work in another context, for instance an art gallery. Good luck, Regan Forrest Haley Sharpe Design (also second Richard's call to join us at British Interactive Group!) ********************************************************************** 1.
