Interactive Art

Nowadays the popularity of interactive art is evidence and is still growing . Critics claim that interactive art is still in the stage of infancy , though the progress is powerful as more and more people are getting involved in this kind of art . Actually , interactive art is art form involving , in a certain way , a spectator . Interactive artists achieve such affect mostly by letting observers walk in to feel the atmosphere and to find out what is going around . Nevertheless , other possible ways of interactive art are computers and sensors as

they are able to respond to motion and heat . Nowadays , many pieces of electronic art and internet art are considered interactive , because it is possible to navigate them through hypertext environment .
