*3.2. Experiments*

Jeanne Bloch, artist, and Celine Verchère, sociologist, set up two qualitative surveys "in situation" [25] in France in December 2017 and January 2018.

The two venues, Carrefour numérique—Cité des Sciences (Paris, France) and Le Shadok (Strasbourg, France), offered Jeanne Bloch to develop and present her artistic work and research. One of the venues, La Cité des Sciences' Carrefour Numérique, frequently invites researchers to test prototypes with visitors of the science museum (three billion per year) but rarely invites artists. Le Shadok, a public art and tech center in Strasbourg, invited Jeanne Bloch to do an artistic residency (April 2017) in preparation for "Strasbourg Laboratoire de Demain" as part of the major "inter-museum" exhibit, "Strasbourg Laboratoire d'Europe". (October 2017–February 2018). Interviews with visitors were set up while Jeanne's art installation was featured during a visual art exhibit in Le Shadok, Strasbourg (France). Both venues have a "maker" culture and are open to interdisciplinary approaches and therefore welcomed our proposal to add an art and research dimension to our installation at their museum. While the installation was quite similar in both places, the enhanced artistic context in the case of the Shadok's exhibit influenced some of the answers, and visitors were more inclined to express imaginary and creative ideas. The science museum (Cité des Sciences, Paris, France) seemed to be a more neutral place for our research, although interviewees were aware of the installation connection to a dance performance creation.
