Descartes oder die Einsamkeit der interaktiven Skulptur
Interactive art necessarily concentrates a significant portion of its attention to animating observable behaviors on the part of the persons intended to interact with it, so that these mutate from observing to observed persons.
The artist becomes the director of the experiment, developing ideas of those who could be hypothetically addressed and testing these ideas on live objects, always in danger of mere self-confirmation. In the present work the interactive element undergoes a reduction to the possible, albeit inadvisable examination of the question of whether an electrical current is live or not.
