Kenny and I did our performance art together. He came up with the concept of going out into the public and trying to see if people would join in on our "Free Compliments" or "Free Insults" offers. We went to Target and then Whole Foods on Dale Mabry during lunchtime, in attempt to get people's reactions. What we found in even asking people to pick an insult or compliment is that people were either "busy" or wanted nothing to do with it and ignored us. After discussing on the car ride home we can up with a conclusion. We think that the fact that we were men and strangers to these people that they wanted nothing to do with our offers. One of the best reactions we got was an old man walking by and reading my sign and saying "Free insults huh, that's good". We immediately chuckled and told him to have a good day. Another thing we found was that people were caught up in their personal technology and some did not even pick their heads up when we asked them if they wanted a Free Compliment. Lastly, while we were on the elevator on the way to Whole Foods, a middle aged woman rode with us. We asked her if she wanted a free compliment or insult to which she replied "No thanks, I'm good". Here is the video of the process, enjoy!
