英國噴泉里放10萬硬幣測人性

An art installation made up of 1,000 pounds worth of penny coins left in a disused fountain disappeared in just over one day.

日前，在一個廢棄的噴泉里，一個由價值1000英鎊的硬幣組成的藝術(shù)裝飾，在一天之內(nèi)就消失了。

The 100,000 pennies were placed in the fountain at Quayside in Cambridge at 08:00 BST last Saturday and were due to be left for 48 hours.

上周六上午8點，實驗人員在劍橋的Quayside噴泉中放置了10萬枚硬幣，并預計試驗將在48小時后結(jié)束。

All of the coins were gone by 09:00 BST last Sunday, but the In Your Way project is not treating it as theft.

不過在上周日上午9點的時候，所有的硬幣就已經(jīng)消失了，不過在此次“In Your Way”的試驗項目中，并沒有將該行為定義為盜竊。

Artistic director Daniel Pitt said it was "a provocative outcome".

藝術(shù)總監(jiān)丹尼爾·皮特稱，試驗的結(jié)果讓人大失所望。

Cambridge-based artist Anna Brownsted said her fountain piece "was an invitation to respond, a provocation".

劍橋藝術(shù)家安娜·布朗斯特德稱，噴泉里的硬幣是對人類反應的誘惑，是一種刺激。

"It was an experiment in the dynamics of human behaviour and our complex reactions to heightened situations," she said.

她說道：“這是一項關(guān)于關(guān)于人類行為動態(tài)以及我們在特殊情境下復雜反應的實驗。”

Had any money been left over at the end of the project, it would have been given to a local homeless charity.

如果在項目結(jié)束時還剩下硬幣的話，這些硬幣就會捐給當?shù)匾患揖葷鸁o家可歸的人的慈善機構(gòu)。

Mr Pitt added: "We do not consider the removal of the money to be a theft as the money was there for people to interact with as they saw fit as part of this art project. The experiment had a provocative outcome, it opened conversations about human nature and the bystander effect."

皮特補充稱：“我們不認為把錢取出來是一種盜竊行為，因為這些錢是用來讓人們與之互動的，拿走硬幣本身就是這個藝術(shù)項目的一部分。這個實驗的結(jié)果讓人大吃一驚，打開了關(guān)于人性和旁觀者效應的議題。”
