For anybody here who has studied New Media Art or Contemporary Art in the last 10 years Lev Manovich is highly influential. That passage is from a paper I read just after my final year of New Media at Ryerson University.. it's probably one of the reasons that I decided to go into interaction design as a career.
Manovich's ideas about what constitutes art are amazing and are and important part of our contemporary art theory.. HCI is such an integral part of New Media Art practice... so much contemporary art involves interaction with computers or computer interfaces that the HCI aspects define the viewers' participation with the work. In my third year of university I worked on a group show at a gallery in Toronto where each individual piece was networked together to influence the outcome of a final evening performance. The participants interactions with the pieces in the gallery were recorded and used to select a set of audio and video clips used in a multi-media performance of Alice in Wonderland. The HCI for each piece was the foundation for the whole work. As art becomes more and more interactive and computers become more important to art practice HCI and IxD will become art... or I should say, art will become IxD, with the added component of concept and external meaning.
