Thesis Concept :



[ Primitive interactive experiences ]

[ Blur the boundary between the digital and analog worlds ]

Thus, it seems to me that using primitive interactive experiences with digital devices could blur the boundary between the digital and analog worlds. With Inter-whactive TV users can choose channels by turning the dial on the television set and banging on the TV to activate video clips seemingly related to their banging actions.

As a result, the Inter-whactive TV presents itself in a very different relationship to its user: rather than the viewer being a diminished object of technology, s/he has the feeling of being an empowered subject in command of the virtual world. But is this control real or virtual?
