Notes

Steve Smith is from Cornwall. He and his friend will be throwing a frisbee to each other while on the plinth. He will also be attempting to put enough straws together to reach the fountain from the plinth. He doesn't expect the experience to affect him. He finds it hard to see the art in the project, and thinks that many people are seeing the plinth as a stage rather than a plinth. He is more excited about having his fifteen minutes of fame than about participating in an art project. He describes himself as outgoing and someone who likes a challenge, he always wants to be the best. He plays ultimate frisbee, a sport he began playing at university. He studied accounting at Cardiff University but now has a job testing computer software for Axa Insurance. His friends and family are most important to him, particularly the people he plays frisbee with. After his time on the plinth he is going to see the Banksy exhibition, and will then just go back to his life.
