Interactive art is a form of art that involves the spectator in a way that allows the art to achieve its purpose. It normally refers to products and services on digital computer-based systems which respond to the user’s actions.

The “Plane White” installation features Wassily Kandinsky’s Composition VIII painting. In this mixed media display, the objective was to redesign the “real-virtual” boundary between the visitor and the digital dimension. The notion of touch and spontaneous social interaction is reintroduced, reviving the human dimension.
The installation is an interactive digital experience for Wassily Kandinsky’s famed painting “Composition VIII.” Kandinsky himself lived with a psychological condition that made him “hear colors”; he associated each shade with a specific musical note, making a entire artwork signify a finished song. Like Kandinsky, this work uses multi-sensory way by blurring the line between the visitor and the digital dimension. The artwork feels tangible to the viewer as they go through the motions recreating Kandinsky’s images on the wall.

I really like the idea this interactive work is portraying, it made use of the DIWO concept which play a large role in creating an interactive work. This gives the work an extra dimension in which the participants can not only interact among one another but also with the piece to create something along side with the artist. This creates a sense of connectivity among the audience and a bond between the artist, artwork and audience themselves.
I really like the relationship Ow was trying to convey, that is between sound and something visual is very interesting. The idea of giving sound a tangible form and color gives us a completely new viewpoint to what we could only process with our ears. Moreover, even though the materials used is kept to minimal, the material support is designed to be highly palpable, enhancing the tangible aspect of the multi-dimensional interface.
