Interactive Contemporary Art Participation in Practice

'This volume is more than just an addition to the present literature in the field, it is a valuable and unique contribution to it. More to the point, Interactive Contemporary Art does not toe the line- and it is all the more compelling for that very reason.' Marsha Meskimmon, Professor of Art History and Theory, Loughborough University. 'This book gives a valuable global perspective on interactive art, illuminating studies of exemplary interactive works, and considers dimensions of interactivity from the technological to the political - It's also an exciting and stimulating read.' Michael Newall, Senior Lecturer in History and Philosophy of Art, University of Kent, Canterbury. 'This timely book fills a significant gap in the literature on interactive, participatory and socially engaged art and will be essential reading for those interested in current practice.' Caroline Turner, Senior Research Fellow, College of Arts and Social Sciences, Australian National University.
