OodBird-CriticalInterface

  • Try to talk with a plant. You need something to help to translate. But the plant will keep on growing without your voice, Do not pay attention to those who stand for speaking to the plants. (1-cP)

I really liked this sentence, pertly because of the strange grammar and partly because I think it says a lot about the importance of the individual when it comes to interaction with art and the interface.

Like a plant, interactive art can live and grow and exist without the use of a human being, and sometimes the impact of human interaction on a piece is simply what the human gains from it, but it can have no effect on the actual piece itself. When creating interactive interfaces it is important to consider and rethink what our interactions actually mean and how they exist in relationnickname-CriticalInterface  to the people who use it.
