Session Description:
This SPARKS session focuses on the innovative interactive digital artwork and pioneering artists prior to the year 2000. Interactive digital art’s roots began forming in the 1960s and blossomed in the following decades. By relinquishing the power to control the outcome of a work of art, digital artists in the 1960 -1990s established a democratic, reciprocal relationship with the viewer. Without a defined history, artists were free to experiment and create works that capitalized on the concept of “possibilities.” These individualized personal art experiences took many forms including screen-based art, immersive installation environments, interactive music, telematic performances, haptic device art, and much more.
Presenters:
