Performing process : the artist studio as interactive art

Digital technology has radically changed human communication in the last few decades. The digital medium has pushed cultural artifacts towards forms defined by interaction, participation, and social systems. This thesis looks at recent changes of artistic practice in the realm of digital visual arts. In order to study the intersection between interactive art and the digital image, I will describe the design of an online participatory studio system, where an artist can perform the creative process and respond to remote feedback from audience participants at the same time. Such a system opens a conversation between artist and audience that will shed new light on how we can learn, understand and communicate boundaries in digital space and digital interactive art.
