Eco:
Open
Work
(1989)
Open-ended art works: open for multiple interpretation and
perception.!
!
Art work as a communication system.!
Artwork
as
a
communica^on
system
which
oscillates
between
a
formal
structure
and
the
mul-ple
meaning
produced
by
a
‘wonderment’
of
the
spectator
(Eco,
1989).!
!
The authorship of meaning moved from the artists to the
audience.!

Participatory art form here stands for art works or
movements which characterized an audience
involvement in the art work. !
The artists generated a new forms of interaction,
public congregation, demonstration etc.!

audience brought to art the form of ‘art nugatory’
of dada movement at the beginning of twenty

event or situation that can take
place anywhere, often lack a
narrative and frequently seek to
involve the audience in some
way. This events are usefully
open-ended and improvised.!

Active Spectatorship in Art!

actively contributes in the creation process.!

only a mental process but active participation when the
structure of the artwork changes through the
spectators/users’ input.!

27. Tranforming Mirrors
David Rokeby
!
„The speactator sees some
representation of themselfes on a
projection screen. This Representation
follows the movements of the interactor
like a mirror-image or shadow,
transformed by the potentials with
which the artist has endowed the
space.“!
