Participation encouraged.

One of the most interesting portions of this chapter was the beginning  In summary, one of the main differences between video pieces and all other types of still media, is that a video piece can incorporate the audience. Several of the of the pieces described in the chapter rely on a portrayal of the audience as the actual subject matter of the piece. Interactivity with an art piece transforms the piece from a still and finished work, into a breathing and changing exhibit. For me, this quality allows art to reach a greater audience and domain. This piece, "Big Crank" demonstrates how a viewer can literally influence a whole piece's look, yet can do so with little effort on their part. Again ease of use allows this style of installation to have a greater impact.
