The warm colors of the artwork made the gallery feel warm, which may have made visitors behave as if they were on a beach. There is no evidence that the museum increased the temperature of the room or that visitors were asked to behave that way by the artist. While it is possible that some visitors may have exhibited this behavior regardless of the artwork, the question specifically refers to The Unilever Series: Olafur Eliasson, The Weather Project.
