A new group of artists are using digital technology to break the rules. They are using the computer to implement systems of vertiginous complexity, allowing very simple manipulation to produce complex and intricate audio and visual results. These artists are producing a generation of interactive art that produces sophisticated pieces while creating great accessibility to the work, both in terms of how it entices people to interact, as well as the ability to see the product of one๊s actions. Inside the Display will produce an art experience that will educate the public, open dialog and distinguish interactive digital art from art movements of the past through its product, process, tools and subject matter, through exhibition.
As with any interactive artwork, we want to propose the questions, "Who is the artist?" and "Where is the art?" But Inside the Display raises the stakes by employing quotidian equipment to produce grandiose works. Consequently, Inside the Display will make us consider the line between high art and mass-produced consumer items, and ponder the possibility that a work could be both.
