I saw it more of a combination public art installation and social experiment.

The ball pit's main purpose seemed to get two complete strangers, who would've never interacted otherwise, to sit in a ball pit and talk about themselves, life, and whatever other topics were written on the balls. These strangers connect on many different levels, which is a pretty big feat, considering how people are usually too absorbed into their own little digitally-enabled social bubbles and never really make an effort to get to know a stranger.
