After discussing the principles behind an aesthetic experience, my 480r class went outside and created a situation where we might be able to have an aesthetic experience. We originally wanted to put the sand on a pedestal on the middle of BYU's quad, but the gallery director explained that the BYU grounds are outside of his jurisdiction. So, we put the sand on the ground in a pile and watched people walking by.
Highlights:
- At one point, some random kid walked up to the pile and stepped on it. Watch Jessica's reaction in the background.
- After the pile was destroyed, more people payed attention to it when they walked by.
- Two guys came and stopped at the pile, discussing it (among other things).
- Jessica emotionally went and rebuilt the piece, asking for help.
- When Molly put a football ticket in the pile, more people paid attention to it.
- Jethro rebuilt the piece in a circle, adding to its visual aesthetic appeal.
