Understanding Interactive Art
Interactive Art involves active participation from the community: Audience members become contributors who engage with the artwork and/or artist directly.
What does this entail?
At times, you may contribute to the creation of the artwork, while in other instances, you might immerse yourself in interactive experiences with the art. The artwork often reaches its full potential when displayed. It is often Multi-sensory.
So What?
Interactive Art aims to evoke emotions and prompt reflection by creating a dialogue between the viewer and the artist. It strives to be inclusive rather than exclusive, introducing a wider audience to artistic ideas. Engaging with interactive art is typically enjoyable and requires more time than observing a traditional piece. When successful, it offers a unique and thought-provoking encounter, leaving a lasting impression.

About Me
Carol MacGillivray
Coral Woods Studios Sculptor
I like to marry theory and craft and am constantly exploring new avenues in art creation. Whether it's crafting immersive animations that captivate an entire room, developing thought-provoking conceptual pieces that spark discussions, or experimenting with digital hybrid sculptures, I aim to push the boundaries of traditional sculptural art forms and create and demystify sculpture and contemporary art for everyone.
I have exhibited in Monaco, Berlin, London and Singapore
