Interactive Art refers to a genre of art that involves the participation of the viewer or user to create or alter the artwork. Unlike traditional art forms, which are typically passive experiences where the audience observes the creation, interactive art engages the participant directly, often allowing them to manipulate elements of the artwork or influence its outcome.
This type of art can take many forms, including installations, digital media, performances, and virtual or augmented reality experiences. The interaction can occur through various means, such as touch, movement, or decision-making, and it often transforms the audience’s role from a passive observer to an active contributor, making each interaction unique.
Interactive Art aims to create a deeper connection between the artwork and the audience, fostering engagement, dialogue, and experience. It challenges conventional boundaries of art and invites reflection on the nature of creation, presence, and technology in culture.
