In this course
Christiane Paul is a theorist of interactive and telematic art who challenges conventional frameworks of artistic authorship and spectatorship in digital environments. Her work, grouped alongside theorists like Ascott and Shanken, grapples with the linguistic and conceptual slippage between terms like "participant" and "user," revealing how imprecise terminology obscures the co-creative potential embedded in interactive artworks. She appears in the readings as part of a critical conversation about how phenomenological and cybernetic concepts reshape our understanding of who creates meaning in networked, hybrid artistic systems.
