Interactive
Definition
This term refers to art that requires the participation of the viewer or audience to be fully realized, often involving elements of technology, interactivity, and viewer engagement, creating works that change, evolve, or respond to the actions or presence of the audience.
History
Interactive art has become increasingly prominent with the rise of digital and new media technologies, where artists explore the potential for viewer interaction to shape the experience of the artwork, often creating works that are dynamic, participatory, and responsive to the viewer's actions.
