In this reading, Stern discusses the necessity of evaluating interactive installations and performances through their “amplification of bodiliness.” For this he outlines an Implicit Body Framework, an in-depth approach to how the complex relationship between the body and the piece can be evaluated. The first area of analysis dives into the author’s approach to their work and how this impacts our understanding of their work. The second area is a description of the piece, the visual, auditory, etc. characteristics of the piece and how it reacts to people. I think the final two were the most helpful for me to think about how interactive experiences are conceptualized and created. The intricate relationship between participants and the interaction is highlighted in the third area, and that was really interesting to me. His discussion of the Messa di Voce piece, which I had seen before, and how people would make exaggerated movements that were not really necessary to creating that interaction because it seemed natural due to the design of the experience really captured his point. Finally, his fourth area of analysis, relationality, constantly questions the body and its relationship to both the piece and to itself and its dynamism. The final two really made me think about how installations and performances can be designed to create much deeper interactions that vary from person to person, that evolve the longer a person spends with the piece, constantly finding new ways to entertain themselves.
