I guess looking at it in context and what it is set out to do, it has achieved its aims. So Lewitt's work is really perfect for the task. It is encouraging that you see this as a 'frame for cultural thought', I have been thinking about this concept over the last few days and seeing how an image or multimodal presentation can indeed be considered as such.

It is of course one of the drivers of the economic motives behind this platform, but these numbers are amazing as after all, that is just for a few days. I don't think the 'passiveness' is an issue. The engagement is a thought process and brings the viewer onto the next step. I feel I have learned more about the artist and the way you have situated the artwork into a very specific context. I rather imagine Lewitt's installation as a large infinite composition which could potentially hold all the MOOC's comments. Your illustration is like a snapshot of what I can comprehend at a given moment. I don't feel I am a spectator, rather a participant. So indeed, very much a 'frame for cultural thought'.
