A new breed of public interactive installations is taking root that overturns the traditional approach to artistic experience. Architects, artists and designers are now creating real–time interactive projects at very different scales and in many different guises. Some dominate public squares or transform a building’s façade – others are more intimate, like wearable computing. All, though, share in common the ability to draw in users to become active participants and co–creators of content, so that the audience becomes part of the project. Investigating further the paradoxes that arise from this new responsive media at a time when communication patterns are in flux, this title features the work of leading designers, such as Electroland, Usman Haque, Shona Kitchen and Ben Hooker, ONL, Realities United Scott Snibbe. While many works critique the narrow public uses of computing to control people and data, others raise questions about public versus private space in urban contexts; all attempt to offer a unique, technologically mediated form of ‘self–learning’ experience, but which are most effective concepts in practice?

Wonderful book if you know what to expect
19 April 2009
By D. Steel
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thoroughly enjoyed this book - this volume and the others by this author are actually part of a series of periodicals. This makes each one awfully expensive. They tend to read like a gallery exhibition catalog, so you aren't going to get an objective overview of the topic. That being said, this volume and it's sister volumes are wonderful catalogs of some of the most intriguing digital media installations being done in Europe in the past few years. The best of the avant-garde are here, and I am impressed by the way that technology has been integrated into the installations in a seamless way. For me, this book was exactly what I was looking for - words and pictures of a great representative collection of installation art. It is a source of many ideas, and also points me to the members of the artistic community that is participating in this movement.

I love the Wiley Architectural Design titles

I love these Wiley Architectural Design titles. I've held off subscribing because I find that I don't want every issue, although I've bought quite a few. This caught my attention because I try and buy anything on interactive architecture/pervasive computing as I am very interested in this. As with other titles from AD, I'm not disappointed and I refer to them quite often.
