Interactive art is a very recent phenomenon.
It is still in its infancy. It will take a long time for it to mature as an Artform. In terms of its visibility in the mass media or in the art world, it may, indeed, seem to be a newcomer. However, interactive technology was discussed and developed much earlier in the research and development community. The questioning of the role of the artist, the work, the audience, the market and the relationship between art and society by the dadaists, the constructivists, the surrealists and others prepared the ground.
