For our third experiment, we tried to incorporate the concept of NUDGING as it can serve as the perfect tool to question FREE WILL.

It was difficult to come up with an action that could be used to nudge people to follow a desired behaviour and simultaneously make them question their free will. It was necessary to make use of another problem in public space to use as a tool to stimulate a certain action but therefore also distracted from our original question of the existence of free will.

We had to actively walk up to people and explicitly ask them to participate which removed the subtlety of nudging from our experiment. It felt like taking a step backwards in our process of creating a conversation piece as it was quite unsatisfactory. This feeling of failure was due to the fact that we had decided to hand out pamphlets (image 2 and 3) that introduced the idea of nudging itself alongside the questions of free will and the philosophical movement of determinism. Consequently, we rarely got to explain our project or position within this question which prohibited a dialogue where we could explore in how far we succeeded in making our target group doubt.
