Interaction: A collaboration between artist and audience. It is an instrument or environment that the audience takes part in, with minimal interference from the artist. It is an outlet or interaction between the artist and the audience. It is a performance between artist and audience, that allows the audience to create artwork the way they desire. Interaction should be unpredictable rather than a set code that does events on repeat.
Interactive Art Project: A great example of an interactive art project is pin arts. It is an instrument that the audience can physically take part in. It requires little to no interference from the artist or user that created it. Pin arts can either be big or small. The size and concentration of the pin board all depend on the artist and observer. Through the pinboard, the audience can design and create any image they desire. There is no set or correct image that should be created, it is all based on how the audience interacts with the instrument. This is why pin arts are unpredictable as no two pin boards could in theory be the same. As different users would create different artworks that are outside the initial idea in the creator’s head. Pin arts triggered my idea of interaction because the first time I had interactions with it, there were no instructions handed to me. It was almost similar to an invisible force making my hands or face push the pins on the board. It required me to have no interaction with the artist besides the instrument he/she created. What should be used is available to us users, and what should not be used is not included or blocked off. Pin art is a fun way to relax and make realistic art at the same time. When the first user makes art from it and leave, the second user will come around and make a new one. This cycle repeats endlessly. When pin art is magnified and put in public, it sprouts interactivity with people on the street. Since the pinboards have two sides, there could be a person standing on both sides and pressing at them at the same time.

Non-interactive art project: A idea of non-interactive art project would be hopscotch. Hopscotch does not fit into the definition of interaction because every sequence done by the user follows a set code that is unchangeable. It is a pre-drawn sequence by the artist that the user follows over and over again until it is changed. Hopscotch is similar to the refrigerator light example. No matter how many times you open the refrigerator, the only goal of the light is to open when the refrigerator is opened. Hopscotch follows an order either land with one leg when there is one square or land with two legs when there are two squares. Put squares together and you have a game of hopscotch, which is not really interactive at all as it only follows a set code rather than it being unpredictable.
