emergent interactive art systems:

How do emergent interactive art systems creatively transform subjective experiences of spaces/places? #RQ #PhD

So-whats the difference between a space and a place?

Emergence = open ended. something new and surprising occurs. something that is different from whats expected and is more than the sum of the parts.
Interactive art systems = contextualised within the continuum of practice and theory.
Subjective = how one experiences something.

some thoughts....
Does my project concern the interaction experience or is it concerned with the experience that 'lingers' after or prior to a renewal of contact with the interactive art system? - my project resonates more with Edmonds' 'ambient' and 'relating' categories ( on p. 237) is my concern the transformative affect that anticipation and the 'touch point' of contact with the interactive art system has on the audience.
They have been engaged by the IASystem ( direct/attracted: Edmonds p. 237) but the sense of anticipation of another visit by the IA system transforms their experience of what ever context they are in.


The interactive system comes to them. rather than the audience going to the IA System. , perhaps they are in a particular space , ( school, hospital etc) but within that context the I As system roams, perhaps randomly, and comes across them at random moments. This disrupts their 'lived experience' but once attracted / or having had direct engagement ) with the IA system they seek to have further experiences of it- this is partly perhaps because of its unpredictability, but also its playful nature, That is that the IA System requires playful ness to become activated. It thrives on random acts of play. The boundaries between the everyday  experience of a space are disturbed by the presence of a meandering interactive art system.
