Yesterday, I visited the Harry Wood Gallery and got to observe the Water Log exhibit. This exhibit was not focused specifically on artworks. The exhibit was focused on water caches and the roles they play in Arizona. The exhibit encouraged people to go out and search for water caches and participate in some kind of activity that is provided at each cache. I learned that there are three categories of caches: informational, activity, and story/narrative. I like the narrative caches the best because the caches themselves are artistically decorated in some way to catch people's eyes. At the exhibit, one thing I thought was rather cool was that the floor had lines of tape extending everywhere. At first, I was a bit confused as to why they were there, but then I realized that the taped lines matched the water log system. Although it was a map, I like how it took on an artistic feel. Overall, I thought the exhibit was pretty cool. I like that it wasn't just focused on interaction within the exhibit, but rather outside the exhibit and around Arizona.
