I remember the time when I was in introduction class of making experimental video. We were all beginners and lots of us made story telling video.
I remember lot of the videos were difficult to understand the story.

It has always been the first question for the starting of every class.
What's the interactity?
And now, there's a question. How the time base media can be interactive and how are we gonna sole the problems in the process of production?
Everybody has different opinions on it, and I really don't care.
Just because I'm so tired of them trying to categorize and define things.
In the reading Film Art Phenomena, I found somewhat interesting stuff.

"The encounter with an artwork of fixed form involves the cnfrontation between one structure, the artwork--with another--the mental forms and habits of the spectator."

The article left so many open questions. The auther does not saying what the Interactive art is or what it should be like.

When we face the Interactive Art work, we try to figure out what to do. What happen if I do this?
