Interactivity
As tends to happen every so often, a definitions debate about "generative" and "interactive" is in progress on the eu-gene mailing list. Vitorino Ramos just contributed a nice quote from Simon Penny, pulled from an interesting article called, Computers and the Development of Interactivity:"An interactive system is a machine system which reacts in the moment, by virtue of automated reasoning based on data from its sensory apparatus. An Interactive Artwork is such a system which addresses artistic issues. A painting is an instance of representation. A film is a sequence of representations. Interactive artworks are not instances of representation, they are virtual machines which themselves produces instances of representation based on real time inputs."
