Shadow Canopy Comments
During the several-day long exhibition of my canopy, I created a makeshift sign explaining the project, and fastened a notebook to the sign asking for comments. To my pleasant surprise, many people graciously obliged! The responses show the varied reactions everyone had. I’ve transcribed them here.
- Fantastic installation! Too often we forget that there is a canopy above us as we walk through a forested area.
- Nice idea. Sloppy implementation
- Interesting… I like it!
- Great place to park my motorcycle if it rains. Great Job!
- When I passed by this am there was frost on the ground. I through your “ice leaves” were frost on the netting. I would have gone w/just the netting, and not the parachute, then the shadows would have been on the ground.
- Very cool! =)
- hung too low… had to duck…
- relaxing to look at during the day. At night, it has a decidedly ghostly feel, a sheet rustling in the woods lit by eerie lamps. thanks
- Great work! Looks awesome!
- Even though this was meant for the sun, it’s amazing at night. Architecture is a beautiful pursuit; keep up the good work.
- at 4pm I saw the pre-printed leaves + some outline of real trees
- Transparent leaves are a nice touch
- I love that it is constantly changing with the sunlight. Beautiful!
- Good! It is kind of art! Thanks
- I like how the fake leaves look. However, you should have done this at a time when there actually were any real leaves.
- Three thumbs up!!!!
- I think this is the greatest canopy ever made!
- DONNA ROCKS
- The fabric seams ruin the effect a little. Good idea though.
- Fun idea! I think I’ve enjoyed seeing the reactions of people to it as much as the changing light and shadows themselves!
- We should build these everywhere! More, more and more.
- Very cool - hope you get these before it rains
- Thank you
- it simulates the effects of camping beneath a few trees, waiting just after sunrise to watch the shadows dance above.
