Interactive exhibitions have the power to pull the audience closer to artworks, performances, and installations. The act of engagement creates a more memorable experience and a message that can be digested in an easier manner.
Many artists, designers, and even brands are embracing the idea of interactive exhibitions to bridge understandings between the process of creation and the art of perception. While some brands like Linden Lab and Intel facilitate a museum-centric event that relies on the properties of virtual reality to entice visitors, others embrace a more interdisciplinary approach. A great example here would be Daniel Arsham's 'Connecting Time' which is one of the interactive exhibitions that embraces a magnanimous experience by openly combining architecture, film, sculpture, as well as performance.
