“(...) “experience is the best teacher”

(…) The environments provide an experience which can be composed and condensed to demonstrate an educational point.”1

the medium as relationship's modeller

“It matters because we live in media,

as fish live in water. (Many people are

prisoners of the media, many are

the manipulators, and many want to use them

to communicate artistic visions.)”1

the space as

a stage of interactive enviornments

“The maze program focused on the interaction between one individual and the environment. (...) The intrigue derived from the maze’s responses, a carefully composed sequence of relations designed to constitute a unique and coherent experience.”1

the artist vs

the user

“METAPLAY’S focus reflected my reactions

to GLOWFLOW. Interaction between

the participants and the environment was emphasized; the computer was used to facilitate a unique real-time relationship between

the artist and the participant.”1
