Interactive art

For thoughtful child sponsors
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. Sometimes visitors are able to navigate through a hypertext environment; some works accept textual or visual input from outside; sometimes an audience can influence the course of a performance or can even participate in it.

The Prix Ars Electronica is a major yearly competition that gives awards to outstanding examples of (technology-driven) interactive art.
