Please join us to celebrate the launch of the "Architecture of
Interaction" book at the Veemvloer, Amsterdam. For artists who participated in
this project there will also be the opportunity to pick up a free copy of the
book.
Introduction:
The interest in and the use of interactive methodologies continue to grow among
artists, curators and art institutions and funding bodies. Yet every artistic
discipline and even each independent artist uses their own individual language
to describe interactive works.
There is currently no common feature to these languages. "An Architecture of
Interaction" is a project realised by a core group of six artists and theorists
who have set out to develop a communicatory toolbox that can be used to talk
about and compare the processes, meanings and effects of interactive work,
especially the stages of interactive work where no outcomes or precise outlines
can be defined a priori.
"An Architecture of Interaction" arose from a desire to connect vocabularies,
to develop a more sophisticated discourse and to share the eclectic and hidden
ideas
and processes involved in interactive works in disciplines ranging from
theater, performance, music, dance, film and the visual arts to new media. The
main goal is to make interactive working methods more tangible. It is
ostensibly a discussion document for artists from very different backgrounds,
but is also a resourceful insight into the tricky zones of interactivity for
those with a personal and/or professional interest in interactive work such as
critics, curators, commissioners and audiences.We think of interactive working
methods as a meta-discipline, that is to say, interactivity as a field that
informs other disciplines. Interactive working methods can be applied to any
artistic discipline. For us, the important element is that interactive methods
have qualities that are concerned solely with interaction and can be considered
outside the framed discourses of specific disciplines.
This book has been made by makers for makers. It covers six important elements
to consider when making an interactive work. The book's main authors are the
artists Anna Best, Yvonne Dröge Wendel, Nikolaus Gansterer, Lino Hellings, Mine
Kaylan and Klaas Kuitenbrouwer. Coordinated by Wietske Maas.
