Cybernetic Interaction

Project Description
‘Cybernetic Interaction’ is a prototype that aims to better understand a unique mode of interaction by applying cybernetic theory. It is considering a form of participant engagement and showing a remote experience of participants by getting a real-time response from the social media platform. The core research of this project concentrates on the overlapping field of two main parts, cybernetic theory and interactivity which is discussed to explore the possibilities of interactive art by merging modern technology. In this project, audience participants and observers are able to observe the reaction chain and feedback while this tool aims to bridge remote participants and observers to engage in the feedback loop and create a new layer of interaction and conversation. It features a modified Tweeting experience with an embedded communication system. It engages remote participants in a different way and allows them to share the interactive experience around the results of the artworks.
