EVOKE! 7: Public Wish Box, Covent Garden, London. 24/4/2010

Number seven in the series, The Public Wish Box, installed in Covent Garden in Central London, aimed to provide a fun and playful experience for everyday people within public space. This unique urban intervention, A Public Wish Box complete with pens and paper, involved members of the public in a chance to make a wish that could potentially, with the laws of superstition, come true. The wish box also came complete with a motion sensor sound module that would play a magical noise that played whenever a wish was placed in the box to create the feel of the wish being generated. The Wish Box was documented by both an in built hidden camera and a hidden camera facing the box. The wishes were later retrieved from the box for documentation.
