Can audience participation change the outcome of an in-situ illustration?
For graphic designer Rye Tipay, this question can take multi-layered dimensions. In his experience, the painting of common landmarks and non-touristic areas in “enplein air” (in the open air), initiates on-the-spot conversations between the artist, local residents and curious onlookers. This kind of immersive and sometimes participatory process of painting unconsciously invites people to observe changes in ambience, contrast or any movements adding details to the artwork. During this spontaneous interaction, stories and history are shared and swapped adding interesting insights, observations and placing importance to common places. These exchanges impact the final output that takes a newer dimension especially when major changes are done or converted into other use or purpose.
