Art = Experience

2001 Space Odyssey

The main reason people view art is to have an experience.

What is the experience of a Painting?

* How about a; Drawing, Print, Photograph, Film/Video

* or Glass, Sculpture, Ceramics, Fiber Arts, Metals

* or Installation Art, Performance Art, Sound Art

* or Net.Art, Videogames

When we "look" at art we have an experience. A person looking at an art piece is considered the "Viewer". Looking at art is a passive experience. Can we experience art in ways besides "looking" at it?

There is a range of interactivity in Art from passive to active.

Passive Interaction <----------------> Active Interaction

Viewer <-------------------------------------------> Collaborator



So what is Interaction?

Interaction
noun

1. a mutual or reciprocal action or influence

2. (Physics / General Physics) Physics the transfer of energy between elementary particles, between a particle and a field, or between fields See strong interaction, electromagnetic interaction, fundamental interaction, gravitational interaction, weak interaction, electroweak interaction

How does the experience change when we actively interact with an art piece?


Most digital art forms are inherently interactive?
