PUBLIC ART ON THE GREENWAY - recommendations survey

On April 23, 2012 the Greenway Conservancy presented public art consultants' draft recommendations for a 5 year public art strategy. Please help us evaluate the recommendations by taking the short survey below. Visit www.rfkgc.org/art for a copy of the presentation and more information.
1.The 5-year draft public art strategy recommends placing only temporary works of art (max 18 mons) on the Greenway. Do you agree or disagree with this concept?
2.In tandem with the recommendation for temporary artworks, the draft discourages the installation of additional memorials or monuments. Do you agree or disagree with this recommendation?
3.The draft strategy recommends a series of dynamic shorter-term project types called "Platforms". They are organized by location, media, or a combination of the two. Please indicate your level of interest in the following project types.
Not interested at all

Very interested
Light and projection projects (e.g, projections or light installations in Dewey Square Park and / or at the Harbor Islands Pavilion)
Placemaking projects (e.g., Artists, architects, and landscape architects collaborate to re-imagine and design places to attract and engage people with the park. Dewey Square is one potential location)
Experimental installations (e.g., a project space between North End and Wharf District Parks)
Transforming existing Greenway assets (e.g., the Light Blades in Wharf District Park)
Interactive new media (e.g., artist-designed phone apps and interactive mobile websites for use in the parks)
Art events (e.g., Winter Lights; engaging an artist to create a signature light project)
4.The draft public art strategy recommends longer-term project types call "Magnets". These high-visibility and high-impact projects with internationally known artists are designed to define the Greenway as an art destination. Do you agree or disagree with this concept?
5.There are several attributes that the draft strategy asks artists to consider when developing their projects. Please indicate your level of interest in the following attributes.

Walk the Line: projects that address or emphasize the entire length of the Greenway
