early interactive art experiments

Was looking on the internet for interactive art and animation and stumble across this article on the blog of Scott Sona Snibbe an artist who makes a lot of interactive art. His work is very interesting and well worth checking out, especially because of it’s relevance to this project, but I thought the article was really interesting because it shows how the early attempts at interactivity didn’t really catch on either. Which links in with what John was saying yesterday about how the technology has been around for quite a while but never really taken off.
