Talk Summary
This talk will explore what it means for art to be interactive, beyond the concept of the environment influencing a piece. Instead, what if a piece influences the environment? What if a project is capable of interacting with other projects? In addition to exploring these topics, some technical and practical approaches to accomplishing these things will be discussed.
