It's all about the Users...Alison

With our first and only completely new User to Digital Arts (the mother of another student presenting in the Boxes group), we have Alison.

Her reaction to the experience was unique in that she was not a lecturer or student of this subject, so that she had no expectations when going in. And the sketchy information I provided her with before she went in only increased this feeling.

She responded well to the experience, giving honest answers and interfacing well with the 'consciousness' of Snivitz. She didn't get to the very end of the piece, but as there are design elements in place to see if the "point and click" response to computers is a generational trend, this was not that surprising.

Snivitz: "How do you feel?"
Alison: "A little afraid"
