Experiencing the art in transit mode and experiencing something more than murals, posters, performances, etc, textile is a material that can have many experiences such as visual, feel, smell, which can be associated with different moods and memories, aspirations of individuals which comprise city as a whole. In my opinion the use of textile has been limited, though I feel it can be a medium of interaction. Cubbon park as a space for intervention and experimentation is a place that brings a working crowd as well as a leisurely crowd ranging from lawyers, students, office goers, strollers, lovers, etc. Every individual from different backgrounds have a perspective towards art and getting to communicate with them and understanding their notion of the space and this intervention would be important, challenging and interesting to get all the commuters to participate in something simple and interactive.
Seven spots in and around the metro station were chosen for seven consecutive days so that maximum number of commuters could be tapped. They all finger painted and made flowers.Later all the participants were invited to become a part of the 'Commuters Party' where they could network with one another, create a large piece of painting and also enjoy a sensor based CLOUD FLOWER RAIN installation that was made with the help of motion sensors and aurduino programming.
