Participation of interaction: Towards the Origins of the Interactive Art by Solke Dinkle talks about how we can interact with our art mediums. The first two things that came to mind were: the blue man group and video games. The Blue Man Group is notorious for having audience members interact with their shows. Is this truly interactive art? I guess that would depend on what you are considering art. Dancing to music at a show, is also creating your own art to jive with their art. I have been to a few art collective shows where all the painters start one painting and everyone else is asked to interact with that painting. Paint whatever inspired on top of their original art form. I think that's an interactive art. I think video games are the true new interactive art form. Games like Mario Maker, which take a game we are used to Super Mario Bros, and let us create our own levels. We can expand on an artform we already know, the platformer game, and create something in our own liking. People get absolutely nutty in creating masterpiece levels of difficulty and creativity.
The game Journey, which is very linear, still I would consider interactive art. You can't change the outcome but you can interact with this world of pure beauty.
I think the next true expansion of interactive art is going to be Virtual Reality, I am very excited where this art form takes us in the future.
