On Exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London is DECODE: Digital Design Sensations. The exhibition explores three themes in the digital art world: Code as a Raw Material, Interactivity, and The Network. As curator Louise Shannon explains the spirit of the exhibition to Mark Coles, "allowing people to get involved and interact".
Having the work speak to "the presence of the visitor" is at the heart of interactive design. Living in unresponsive environments surrounded by four white walls and in front of a computer screen, people forget the importance of physical interaction. Having environments express your energy and your movement brings you closer to your surroundings and heightens your awareness. While the magic of the iphone touch screen tickles our affinity for immediate gratification, it also desensitizes us to the physical world. The installations at the V&A Decode exhibit that go beyond virtual reality affect our perception of space, our body, and emotions.
