This reading was incredibly interesting. I found it interesting because it discussed the evolution of the definition of “interactive art.” The fact that physical and/or visual communication between a spectator and the art is no longer very much considered ‘interactive art’ is astonishing to me. The communication between user and piece is a key part…

The most interesting aspect of the art highlighted in the article is the bridged gap between the artist and the viewer. The term ‘interactive art’ makes that point clear, but just like everything else, what falls into that category is up for debate. Everything hinges on what one considers to be interactivity. The author touches…

New Media Post- Week 2 Trouble at the Interface 2.0 by Erkki Huhtamo This was an interesting reading because it discusses the work that the author has seen at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria. It was all described as instillation work that involved some sort of audience participation, which then brought up the…

The most interesting thing about this article to me is the way the author makes connections to past interactive arts such as zoetropes and praxinoscopes from the 19th century. Drawing links in art and history is one of the most fascinating parts about being an art history major. The author also draws connections to fluxes…

Over the past quarter decade, interactive art has emerged and mutated drastically. It is understandable for such a fresh art form to change so quickly, but can also be disappointing for some of its earliest pioneers. What began around 1989 as an actually interactive medium quickly changed into a less interactive medium. By 2004 and…

In 1989, interactive art originate from Austria. On of the work was American artist Lynn Hershman’s laserdisc. Early interactive art was more light works and place the objects. But computer science and technologies are developed and it combine with interactive art. By using a technologies, artists can make audiences involved into their work so the…

Through the years, the concept of “interactive art” has been changing. According to Erkki Huhtamo, the one who wrote NeMe: Trouble at the Interface 2.0, interactive art began as a means of allowing spectators to connect to the artist through creations brought forth from incoming technology. This was a way for the audience to actively…

From the reading that was assigned to my class on Thursday, I believed that the reading more into how New Media arts is portrayed. In other words how it was back in the 60’s to the mid 90’s. New Media art has began to become complex due to the less interaction humans and technology have…

http://www.flong.com/projects/eyeshine/ Golan Levin is an artist that creates pieces using media  along with incorporating participation from the audience. This piece, “Eyeshine,” captures and records the reflections of eyes from viewers and displays an image as seen in the picture above. What I like about this piece is how Levin uses the audience in a kind…

Many scientist research about the nature and learn from it. Biomimicry is the design and production of materials, structures, and systems that…

Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied created a comic and website dubbed Z​ombie and M​ummy.

The idea of uploading art so frequently and so well done…
