What are the effects of the moving object ?  Placing various objects that have the potential to move, beyond the fixed program of Superkilen, allows for unpredictable outcomes.

an Intuitive choice of objects, tested in different places.

how do people act when they meet the objects ?

how do they move them ?

How were the objects & the site transformed during the interaction ? 

What does it mean to be acting with something which is unexpected and unfamiliar in a context? 

Moving objects create new and unpredictable encounters. 

How do people make a place their own if the use of it is prescribed/not prescribed? 

watermelon : Norms and codes are embedded in objects. The melon is too big to be taken without feeling guilty, and it can be destroyed. 

frisbee : Arrangement or staging of the object - People replace the frisbees in order, where they found them. Those items left randomly gave permission to take it and make use of the item 

bubble maker : Can be picked up without feeling guilty, being noticed. The object is partly prescribed. 

egg timer : Again, if some order is given to an item, some sort of meaning, people won’t take it
