Interact + Integrate

Mix ‘n Match V2.0, mixed media, Jackie Hoysted 2018

Interact: to act together : to come together and have an effect on each other

Integrate: to combine (two or more things) to form or create something

INTERACT + INTEGRATE is an exhibition, organized by Jackie Hoysted, featuring four artists whose art practices are concerned with the interaction and/or integration of the audience in their work. Interaction is usually concerned with communication. It can simply be a manual interaction between people and things or for new media artists typically involves the interaction between humans, computers, sensors and networks. Conversely, integration is concerned about combining, assimilating, bringing together and the coalescing of people and things. For each of these artists the participation of the audience is essential. Artists: Jackie Hoysted, Heloisa Escudero, Michelle Lisa Herman and Denise Philipbar.
