interact/react
interact/react encompasses a wide-range of artwork by eleven local artists whose work incorporates interactive or reactive elements.  These artists explore human connections to art using everything from gadgets, mechanical gizmos, and the simplicity of light to the complexity of computer-generated projections as their media.
