Reading ‘The Art of Interactive Design’ was an interesting experience. Defining the term ‘interactive’ has always been of interest to me personally due to my research and interest in Interactive Theater. Although Interactive Design is of different nature, much of what I read was coherent and applicable to the ideas I wanted to explore. I liked the use of a ‘conversation’ and the three steps that are claimed to be a criteria for a conversation. Also, I think that the differentiation between interaction and reaction is important. The explicit statement that an interaction is not merely a heightened reaction is important in determining which products can be classified as interactive and which cannot be. The same can be said in regards to participation. The way that different forms of art are considered is helpful in understanding what the author means by interactivity.
