Public art

I would like to do a sort of public art form that represents technologies hold on society, and the impact it would have on us if it were taken away. For this I would have a group of students gather at the bell tower with computer in hand and and complete the following rules:
1. Everyone would need to sit, concentrated in one area and in the way of mobile students at the same time. (having their computer opened but not turned on)
2.For five minutes sit still and in silence, and than at a cue start yelling.
3. Finally at a second cue get up and walk away.
This is an example of relational aesthetics because all students begin together and they are part of the art, as well as the viewers. Relational aesthetics allows the viewers to become more involved in the art, allowing for more understanding. By making the viewers part of the art it also changes the way we communicate with one another, creating clearer images. relational aesthetics also help produce more relationship and somewhat weird encounters.
