Interactive Materials And Their Impact On The Relationship Of The Sculptural Form To The Environment, The Recipient And The Work Parts

Art has become more accommodating of the human experience in the various fields of objective sciences, meanwhile it preserves the subjective aspects of the artist. The works ofartdo not include pictures, paintings and sculptures only, but also contain devices, machines and raw materials with interactive properties that provide the viewer with greater opportunities to participate and gain theoretical and non- theoretical experiences. In modern times, theartwork has become an active cell rather than a passive space that conveys and represents something, whether itis real or imaginary. This is to claim that what is going on the painting or in the statue does not represent animage or a form only, but rather an eventor an occurrence or a happening. Therefore, most artistic trends have often deviated from the principle of representation, and focused more on exploring abstract relationships, with the aim of widening the visual experience via novel progressivethoughts and visions, rather than arousing the imagination in a specific limited topic.

Thus, it is possible for art to enrich and expand the borders and scope of the artistic work to extend the limits of the form or the shape on which the artwork is implemented. This is achieved by creating interactive relationships in more than one way. On one hand, the relations between the work of art and its environmental location, with its different characteristics and components. On the other hand, the relation between the work of art and its viewer or perceiver to go beyond the limits of the simple emotional interpretation of the work, and the interactive relations of the parts of the stereoscopic work with each other and the instability of those relationships.

Such interactive relations are regularly changing and creating new relationships among the parts of the artworks. Thus, making the work more dynamic and varying. To do this, the artist must use materials that have distinctive characteristics in building and forming the sculptural work, which the researcher  has called (interactive materials).
