When going to see the Act/React presentation at the Milwaukee Art Museum I felt that some of the surprise of the opportunity to interact was lessened by the presentation given in class. Not to blame the presenter but I feel the show would have had a greater impact on me if I wasn't expecting to be forced to interact with the piece. My expectations of the art show would have been to go and observe which is usually the case with traditional gallery shows. The fact that Act/React requires the viewer to be a part of the piece is something really unique and would have been a pleasant surprise to be pushed into unexpectedly. This can be related to film and modern day trailors where the best parts are often given away before the film can be experienced for the first time as a brand new surprising experience. With that said, the pieces were still very amusing given the chance to interact with them. The piece in particular that I enjoyed was Daniel Roszin's wooden mirror. Like quest lecturer John Mckinnon pointed out, this piece is not only visually intriguing, but is conceptually interesting as well once the viewers interaction is added. The wooden pegs twist in accordance to the being standing in front of it creating a representational image. This image is not clear, meaning there were no true details of facial features, and looks fairly similar no matter who steps in front of it. This almost creates a commonality amongst the viewers. The piece invites viewers in by its visual interest and then alters their participation by altering its appearance. This occurs in a similar manner in the piece Healing #1 by brian Knep. This piece was lying across the floor with certain images slightly moving over the surface. This minimal movement acted as an invitation for the audience to engage. By stepping over the surface, the image would be "torn" apart creating a wound-like trail behind you. Once left for a few moments the surface image would then repair itself by healing back together again. The concept of inviting viewers to tear it apart then reconstructing itself intrigued me. No matter how many people would step on it at once it was always able to repair itself. Also, the piece invited people in but then would repair in the absence of their presence. This piece needed both presence and absence for the art to function.
