ISTA 301 Blog: Interactive Art

      I mentioned that Art today has gone down the drain. Not that it is worse in quality but has less importance in our everyday lives. I believe that this is because going to an art gallery and staring at abstract art works and such is not entertaining for most, me included. How do we fix this problem? Make art more fun and entertaining for people. Easily done with a little thing called interactive art. Its a way that artists can turn the tables on their observers. Instead of the artists doing all the work they let the observer take part in the creation of the work. Its purpose is to engage the observer, bring he/she into the mind set of the artist and share in the experience of the works creation. Enough talk lets look at a couple examples. First the coolest runway you'll ever see:


Next a dance floor that you'll never want to leave:


Or a mirror made out of wood . . . ?


There's so many of these that are awesome I cannot show you them all. I recommend just doing a simple YouTube search for interactive art and watch the endless possibilities. Hope you have a good time - Laters
