3. The Purpose Of His Work ‘’The purpose of my work is to bring meaning and joy to people’s lives. My work is frequently interactive, requiring viewers to physically engage with diverse media that include mobile devices, digital projections, and electromechanical sculpture. By using interactivity, I hope to promote an understanding of the world as interdependent; destroying the illusion that each of us, or any phenomenon, exists in isolation from the rest of reality.’’ Working on ‘’Blow Up’’

7. Biophilia "We were trying to reach a mainstream audience with these: people who have never had that experience of creating music on their own" ‘’it's creative, fun and… educational.. Ihates that word – it usually means boring but Virus is an example of a musical experience that subtly teaches people how viruses work. ” Why it was done?

8. Falling Girl (2008) ‘’Falling Girl is an immersive interactive narrative installation that allows the viewer to participate in the story of a young girl falling from a skyscraper. During her miraculously slow descent, the girl reacts to the people and events in each window. Daylight fades, night falls and passes, and at dawn, when the falling girl finally lands on the sidewalk, she is an aged woman bearing no resemblance to the young girl who started her fall minutes before’’ What is it?

9. Falling Girl ‘’Captured on an interactive wall, the silhouettes of viewers viewers appear in apartment windows to juxtapose against the ever-present central image of the girl in silhouette falling slowly as she gets older and older.’’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rmd44O wMgk How Does It Work/Why is it Interactive?

11. Falling Girl to reflect on their own everyday interactions, including those that appear episodic or transient but that may provide solace to a passing stranger Why Was It Done?

12. Boundary Functions (1998) Boundary Functions is a set of lines projected from overhead onto the floor, dividing people in the gallery from one another. When there is one person on its floor, there is no response. When two are present, a single line cuts between them bisecting the floor, and dynamically changing as they move. With more than two people, the floor divides into cellular regions, each with the quality that all space within it is closer to the person inside than any one else What is it?

14. Boundary Function Boundary Functions shows us that personal space exists only in relation to others and changes without our control. By projecting the diagram, the invisible relationships between individuals and the space between them become visible and dynamic. The intangible notion of personal space and the line that always exists between you and another becomes concrete. The installation doesn’t function at all with one person, as it requires a physical relationship to someone else. In this way Boundary Functions is a reversal of the lonely self-reflection of virtual reality, or the frustration of virtual communities: here is a virtual space that can only exist with more than one person, and in physical space. The title, Boundary Functions, refers to Theodore Kaczynski's 1967 University of Michigan PhD thesis. Better known as the Unabomber, Kaczynski is a pathological example of the conflict between the individual and society: engaging with an imperfect world versus an individual solitude uncompromised by the presence of others. Why Was It Done?

15. Conclusion His work could literally not get anymore interactive than it is. The viewers are physically and emotionally involved in the piece. I find his work very interesting: -meaning -yet, you can form your own understanding -well informed -human interaction and real message
