DefinitionExamples of how technology has been used with Interactive art
IT systems: Interactive ArtsBack
Definition: Interactive art is a piece of art that involves the spectator in some way. Some sculptures achieve this by letting the observer walk in, on, and around the piece. Other works include computers and sensors to respond to motion, heat or other types of input. Many pieces of Internet art and electronic art are highly interactive.

Examples of how technology has been used with Art
Free online galleries e.g. deviantART
During the Venice Biennale, there are different locals talking and singing about their home. Visitors are despatched with mobile phones equipped with Bluetooth and GPS. There are hand-drawn maps on screen. The navigational technology on the mobile phone means that the guide structures itself around the route visitors choose to take as they walk around the area.
Community portal, Area, is open free to artists and developers. Central repository of content created using modelling and rendering software, character animation software and 3D modelling rendering and presentation software. The site also has tips and tutorials, discussion forums, blogs, downloads, galleries, member portfolios and feature stories on artists and developers.

Examples of how technology has been used with Art
Websites for different artists that may already be dead with a photo of their artwork and information about the artist. For example, Mozart’s manuscripts can be found online.
Mona Lisa’s smile is decoded by computer. The computer software developer loaded average, neutral expressions of female faces into a database, which the software used to compare the painting again.
The original manuscript of Alice in Wonderland posted online by the British Library using software to virtually turn the pages.
Canadian scientists used laser and infrared scans to produce a 3D image of the Mona Lisa.

Intellectual Property – ICT has helped by broadcasting art work online. Viewers can right-click and save the image and use it in many situations without crediting the author. The piece of work can also be tweaked to make it different using a Photoshop software.
Globalization and Cultural Diversity – Art work can be published easily and more people may be able to see artwork depicting different cultures but may lead to cultural homogeneity and less diversity as one culture’s art work will be broadcasted on a wider range.
Policies – Art work will have to be subject to copyright laws.

Live arts – Live Performances in front of an audience. Can be a play, concert, musical & etc.
Different areas of live arts
Digital Effects – Realization of scenes that cannot be achieved by normal means, such as space travel.
Choreography – Dance
Lighting –Lighting on stage
Marketing – Promotion of an event
IT systems: Live ArtsBack
Marketing Tickets can be sold online.
Pamphlets, posters and tickets can be produced with better quality using a better printer.
Pamphlets, posters and tickets can be mass produced and produced at a faster rate.
Information about a performance can be found online.
LightingThis can be done through a control computer where
the stage lights can be rotated 360° and rotated all at the same time or in a sequence. Colour filters also
can be changed automatically from the control computer all at the same time. This is less time
consuming and safer.Next
IT systems: Live ArtsBack
ChoreographyMany new softwares arise like a ‘dance dance
revolution’ which people can dance on their own to practice. Practice dances can be
recorded on camera and played later on TV to show individuals what they are doing
wrong or lacking.
Digital effectsLaser lights can be used during performances.
Sound effects can be played from a computer connected to speakers, sounds that humans normally cannot make to a certain volume or pitch. Sounds can be
played from a selection of sound effects.

Intellectual Property - It is so easy to come to a performance and bring a camera phone with video-recording capabilities and record small scenes and upload them in websites and video album websites such as Youtube.
Globalization and Cultural Diversity – Technology has helped the recording of different performances and uploading them. Different performances such as cultural dances can be recorded and uploaded. This may lead to less diversity and cultural homogeneity as what makes a group of people different will reach more people. Everyone may want to live a certain lifestyle as people may like to live ghetto because of their love for hip-hop dance and music. People may want to start learning how to salsa because of adoration for adoration.

Areas of Impact : Interactive ArtsBack
Positive Negative
Arts & Entertainment
More images to look at. More interactive where one can mouse
over something and the piece of art changes in some way.
Art won’t be exposed as much as more people would view the art
online instead of physically going there.
One may not go out to an art gallery but just online on
the computer.
Business & employment
More jobs created to develop the technology. For example, online art
galleries.
Museums/Galleries may have redundancies as
galleries may have less flow.
Education Find more photos and sources online, aids art research.
Ideas may come from what one has discovered not oneself. Someone may
adapt different artwork into their own. Causes
plagiarism.
Areas of Impact :Live ArtsBack
Positive Negative
Arts & Entertainment More effects on stage may be more interesting.
Causes pulling away from the actual performance but
on the special effects.
Business & Employment
More jobs created controlling the technology. For example controlling the
lights and sounds.Cheaper also as a full on set
doesn’t have to be built.
Maybe more redundancies as jobs may be replaced by
machines.
Education More opportunities to find out about different
productions being held around the region. More opportunities for Drama
classes to watch.People may understand
literature better by watching a performance.
Instead of reading a book on a play, students may choose
just to watch the play to avoid hours of reading.
