Interactive Art

Usually when we look at an art on a wall, its static or if its dynamic, it has its own default settings to create the illusion, the art, and the entertainment, or whatever its trying to achieve. This interactive art in particular has an image that one can be immersed in and become part of the art. One could also argue that video games are immersive art too. They are, but our actions doesn't happen instantly. Even though we're hitting buttons and swinging our rackets, our motion is being translated digitally so that the computer could understand it. You don't really see yourself in it. The player is represented by a character in a game, and that character is digitally made.
What I like about this interactive art is that you yourself is in the art. The camera looks at the shape of a person's body and puts your uniqueness inside the art, where you can manipulate the art. One example that I like the most was the Text Rain, where there is a preset video on a wall with texts and letters that act like rain. The rain actually responds to the movement and shape your body or a material. Plus this art makes you appreciate the simplicity of the data in order to achieve the interaction, compared to a game where you have to process a lot of information before you can make your move. Truly the saying "A Little goes a Long Way" inspired the designers of this project.
