…public space protects the fundamental concept behind democracy: popular participation.

Rebecca Solnit, Contemporary Historian

You are part of an experiment, an experiment called community. The capsule that led you to this website contains a RFID (Radio Frequency ID) that tracked your movement through the park. Below is a time lapsed motion graphic of the capsules leaving the park. In a manner, this functions as a collective self-portrait making evident the communities use and interaction within the public space of the park.
