interactive art
Touch-and-respond installations
Interactive art is art that responds to or requires participation from viewers, who become active participants rather than passive observers.
The work may react to movement, touch, sound, or other input: The installation tracked visitors and projected their silhouettes on the walls.
Digital technology has expanded possibilities, but interactive art predates computers—kinesthic sculptures and happenings invited audience involvement decades earlier.
