Between January 2002 and November 2007 these forms collected the reactions of the visitors. (25 words or 250-car max.)
A positive reaction was rewarded with the sound of a kiss; a negative reaction gave a grrrr. At the same time the IP number of the visitor was retrieved and used to influence on the colours of the page layout. This was a way to attract attention to the fact that the visitor was not anonymous, something many did not know in 2002.
The collective text written by the page visitors was used during a performance on September 24, 2006 within the framework of the exhibition “Chauffe Marcel!” organized by FRAC Languedoc Roussillon in the Panacée, Montpellier.
