Description
A book about interacting in its many forms-including the relationships between artworks and audiences, between creative practitioners from different disciplines, and between those practitioners and the norms of research in contemporary society-this account provides a unique perspective on these interacting elements. Combining creativity in art, design, and technology, this account demonstrates that there is much to recommend in the bringing of research into creative practice. It also shows that research itself can be transformed by way of creative practice.
Reviews / Votes
While other books have presented interactive works and interrogated engagement in interactive art, what sets apart this book is its unique contribution to the integration of research or knowledge-development and creative practice, and to understanding art and creative practitioners in a broader scholarly context through the development of new methods of conducting this research." - Kirsty Beilharz, professor, University of Technology in Sydney, AustraliaMore details
