Conclusion
(excerpts)
A short conclusion and then I'll show the last of the video documentation.
The difference between an interactive game and an interactive work of art is not just in the
subject matter. It's also in the program and interface, which are an important part of the
expression of a work. Artists working in this field will continue to be odds with the models
and directions of the multimedia industry.
Interactive art that uses a computer is not there yet. Probably the only meaningful
dialogues that occur while interacting with a work, are between the viewers and
themselves. Responses from the work that are altered reflections of the viewer's
responses. The limitations that we are up against at this point are no longer
technological.
Possibly as we understand more about communication, it will be possible
to express not a thought but a fragment of a way of thinking and growing.
