Interactive Planetarium Planetarium Interactive
Alright, so, if I have to choose one example of an interactive art that is a little less obvious than others, I would have to pick the Felix Gonzalez-Torres piece, “Untitled,” consisting of black licorice candy in a corner (app. 700 lbs of candy). I choose this piece because the whole point of it is participation and interactivity. Anyone there is free to take as much of the candy as they like. There are no further instructions or written expectations, so it is up to the audience to decide how much is too much. It deals with people and their comfort and ethics and it forces individuals to face themselves with their ethics. Some people might come upon it and not assume that they are supposed to take a piece at all, so it can be hard to see it as an interactive piece. I honestly temporarily forget what hot and cold media is, but I venture to guess that this is cold media because it can be so confusing for people to see and comprehend as a work of art.
