Why

• To bring the city centre to the milk market and
  the milk market to the city centre
• To engage in a social activity
• To extend friendship
• To observe how people interact

5
How

• Information to be placed by each screen inviting
  people to touch hands by placing their hands in
  the silhouettes or any where on the screen.
  People in the opposite location will hopefully
  respond when they observe someone with their
  hands outstretched.

6
Where

• LCD display to be mounted behind the glass of a
  shop window in OConnell Street or in a specially
  constructed booth. The glass front with hand
  silhouettes should be placed so that the hand
  shapes are approximately four feet from the
  ground. In the market the display could be placed
  in a wall mounted booth in one of the entrances
  or on a convenient wall.

When

• On Saturdays during trading hours

Who
For all in Limerick who wish to reach out and
enjoy an interactive experience not only with
