Implications - When looking at art, consumers want to feel like they can relate to what is being presented to them. Exhibitions that utilize a common material are more appealing to viewers because of its ability to make a connection with those who aren't particularly artists themselves. Designers could integrate more approachable methods into their products in order to appeal to those who want to feel closer to what they're looking at.
