1. collaboration with the communities that are being worked with- meaning not creating art for them but collaboratively with them like in the Routes project, where the drivers could bring in their own experiences. This collaboration allows a different level of dialogue.
2. Performative interaction- the performance itself is interactive, for instance with the floating boats in Zurich, the art, the performance itself was the dialogue between the sex workers, activists and politicians.
3. the goal is not the visual product but the process- Even though it is art, the goal is not the final product. For instance the Code 33 project wasn't about the final artistic project, but the goal was rather the dialogue that was created between the police and the youth of Oakland.
4. Dialogue as an aesthetic- Making a dialogue into an aesthetic concept. For instance with "the Roof is on Fire", the piece was the internal dialogue between the teens of Oakland. However that dialogue was an aesthetic choice as well, since they held the conversations in cars, and people could witness these conversations in a different setting. Thus turning the dialogue into an aesthetic choice.
5. Accessible but not simplistic- Art that is easily accessible to the public, but doesn't lose its value because it is available to the masses. "The Roof is on Fire" is a good example of that as well, because it was filmed it was available on national television, and it took place in a public space so anyone could come and see the piece. However this accessibility did not lower the value of the piece, because part of the goal was to make it accessible.
