Tiivistelmä
Interactivity has been one of the fascinating mediums to be combined with a variety of forms of art, and interactive performance is one of the merged forms in the field of contemporary art. Once an audience becomes a co-creator of the performance, interaction produces different effects on each component: performance, artist and audience. The objective of this thesis was to analyze how interactive performance and audience affect each other in various aspects. Along with the written part of the thesis, an installation and interactive performance titled Colorful was developed from the theoretical basis.
The data for this thesis were collected from publications, articles, and web sources. The main research was implemented through a survey of the audience who participated in Colorful and the author’s previous performances, and interviews with the performance artists: Christian Falsnaes and Roi Vaara. Artworks by Marina Abramovic, Christian Faslanes, and Roi Vaara were mostly analyzed.
The findings of the thesis clarify the effects of interactive performance on participating and observing spectators as well as the effects of involvement of the audience on performative artwork and the artist. They indicate the significance of interactivity and its utilization methods in a performative form of art. The findings can be used in the development of upcoming interactive performances and various combinations of art employing interactivity.
