Yesterday [Thursday] I ran the one-day long version of the patch down in P3. Most things, for the first time, ran smoothly, the camera recorded properly, the lighting levels seemed adequate and crucially there were fairly frequent visitors. The only issue was with the compression codec I had added to the recording part of the patch, which was compressing the clips to too high an extent, even on maximum setting. The codec was removed and the file storage transferred to an external hard drive, and luckily this did not seem to slow down the operation of the patch at all.

The one-day long installation lasts 6 hours, and this seems to be the optimum length of time for this patch. Results are responsive and frequent enough to maintain visitor’s interest, but the installation also runs for long enough to generate an authentic sense of passing time. As the hours go by, memories of visitors randomly appear in progressively decaying stages, and a vast range of visitors are able to contribute.
