Play With It: Interactive Digital Art

Abstract

This paper reviews the current characterizations of the digital medium within the context of interactive installations and also compares the medium with traditional art forms. After establishing a vocabulary for discussing digital artworks, the paper reviews the contributions of three groups of artists and analyzes their approach to creating with the digital medium. Taking inspiration from these artists, a small prototype for an interactive application is designed and evaluated on its ability to engage the features of digital art discussed prior.
