Interactive Art: An Incautious Definition poses the question, What is interactive art? In this short (and often visual) exposition, Giuseppe Torre explores how this question may have been answered long ago in literary criticism, and how computers and algorithms can facilitate the complex exchange between the artist and the audience.
