I Collect is a participatory installation that asks visitors to respond to two questions: “what do you collect?” and “why do you collect it?” Folks write their answers on small tags and then hang them on the pegboard within the installation. The piece’s design is therefore dictated in part by the participants and evolves throughout the duration of an exhibit. It also allows viewers to read up on their community’s stories while they view the show.
