Actually reading it! Bah! I consider that to be cheating, sir.

Dear readers,

I have recently successfully depended my PhD dissertation at Estonian 
Academy of Arts and thought to share the digital version of it, since 
topic might be interesting for this mailing list audience.


Title: From interaction to post-participation: the disappearing role 
of the active participant 

Supervisors: dr Raivo Kelomees (Estonian Academy of Arts) and dr Pau 
Waelder (The Open University of Catalonia)


Pre-reviewers: Prof dr Christa Sommerer (Interface Cultures, The 
University of Art and Design Linz) and Prof dr Moises Mañas Carbonell 
(Faculty of Fine Arts, Polytechnic University of Valencia)


Opponent: Prof dr Christa Sommerer (Interface Cultures, The 
University of Art and Design Linz)


The practice-based dissertation analyses and contextualises passive 
audience interaction through the lens of post-participation. Research 
explores the shift from active to passive participation in 
interactive art. By exploring interactive art history and the 
discourse of identity within the field, this dissertation 
investigates how artworks that demonstrate no audience involvement, 
but still incorporate an internal system interaction with a data 
source, are addressed. In other words, the research tracks down the 
interest shift from human-machine to system-to-system interaction, 
and explores the reasons behind this.


In this thesis, a differentiation is made between direct and indirect 
post-participation. Hence, the selected artworks are analysed from 
the perspective of concept, direct or indirect post-participation 
components, and realisation. In addition, related artworks by other 
artists are introduced and discussed under each subcategory of 
post-participation.


In the end, the dissertation contributes to the evolution of 
interactive art, by analysing and contextualising passive audience 
participation in the form of post-participation. Author argues that 
the concept of post-participation helps to address the shift from an 
active to a passive spectator in the complex age of dataveillance, an 
age in which humans are continuously tracked, traced, monitored and 
surveilled without our consent.


Please find the PhD thesis here

best regards,

Varvara Guljajeva, PhD
