Artist interpretation

Viewing art in the digital medium has give audiences a chance to really get involved in art. Art in a digital medium gives art a more interactive feel. An almost more lively feel. Art is no longer as 1-dimensional as it has been in the past. It moves, it has sound etc. Digital art has taken everything studied from the first art pieces to now and warped them into this one interesting and multi-dimensional vision.
   Interacting with an on-line medium such as Golan Levin's Yellowtail, gives the audience a chance to actually be apart of the artwork. It allows viewers to not only be a part of it, but to take part in creating the artwork itself. It is a brilliant idea. To an extent the creator of an on-line medium is considered the artist because their idea is what brought the audience to this point. But the fact that NOW the audience has control over the artwork is ingenious. It takes art to a whole other level giving audiences a chance to just be a part of something instead of trying to interrupt what the artist is saying, they now become the artist.
