Human Environment


This is an experiment to get people to appreciate the vast myriad of colors around them that they normally take for granted.

We will have people dress up in specific colors, like brown, green, blue, etc. that are in the environment, and pose in areas where those specific colors are presented.

For example, on a specific corner we might find a tree with mulch below it, a brick building, and a sidewalk. People wearing brown shirts with green gloves on their hands would stand very close to the tree; people wearing brown could lie in the mulch; people wearing (dark) red stand up leaning on the brick; people wearing grey lay on the sidewalk. A sign accompanying, explaining the experiment, would be near by. Again, this is not to scare or trick people, but to get them to notice the amount of nature and life constantly around them.

Alternatively, to give a more striking meaning to it, people would dress up in all grey or all khaki, but do the same, which would block out the colors normally represented. The sign would also be altered, saying something like "Don't you miss the colors? Appreciate the life around you."
