What Does Interaction Design and Art Mean?
According to Nathan Shedroff (pioneer of experience design, author, professor) interaction design is “the art of effectively creating interesting and compelling experiences for others.” Art is the creation of beautiful or thought provoking works e.g., in painting, music, writing, etc. When interaction design and art come together, a unique discipline results. This discipline encompasses aspects of everything from art, user experience, and interface design to physical computing and interactive exhibit design. Examples of interactive art and design can be found in performance, alternative reality games (ARGs), telematic art, installation, and responsive objects.
