Identity/Personal Space Thoughts

I’m not totally thrilled for the Personal Space/Identity Assignment.  I feel like it’s a contest of who can get the most attention.  I really can’t identify with this concept.  The only reason that I would want attention is because my ideas are actually good and they have a positive impact on people.  For example, I really like the example of the student dressed in a tracksuit who raced the skateboarders on campus.  The idea was playful and it didn’t harm anyone or challenge people’s values.  I like that sort of performance.
My problem is that I don’t know how to approach this assignment.  I’m more of an introspective person.  I want to have a fun and playful idea, but I just can’t think of any.  I would rather leave public interaction out of it.  Like I would set up some sort of installation and merely observe or document people’s reactions to it.  That works for personal space, right?  I don’t know.  I want to hear what other people have come up with.  Maybe their ideas will inspire me somehow.
