Christiane Paul is a theorist of interactive and telematic art whose work addresses how participatory digital environments challenge traditional notions of artistic authorship and spectatorship. She's cited alongside Ascott, Lovejoy, and Shanken as part of a critical conversation about terminology—particularly how terms like "participant" and "user" flatten the distinctions necessary to theorize co-creation in networked art practices. Her intervention enables scholars in the course to articulate how cybernetic systems and interactive media demand new frameworks for understanding the relationship between creator, artwork, and audience.
