“…Their focus on well-defined goals and objective metrics seems indeed out of place in the evaluation of Interactive Art, which is noticeable as both presented frameworks are heavily focused on experience. In contrast, evaluation methods focused on aspects of UX and aligned with third-wave HCI methods are already being appropriated by artists and used with relative success in some contexts, such as the evaluation of audience interaction with a collaborative interactive music system [10]; evaluation in public art, including planning, preparation and different points of view by different stakeholders [2]; and evaluation in the collaborative creation of a public digital media exhibition [8]. How artists may appropriate, apply and evolve these methods is of high interest of HCI research as well, as it brings novel approaches and different views the HCI community alone could not be able to devise or envision.…”

The mutual efforts of joining art and science have been an important source of innovation in many fields throughout history. In this article, we investigate the relatively common origins, differences, and similarities between the Interactive Art and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) areas of knowledge. We also investigate what kind of human-computer interactions are sought by artists or emerge in Interactive Art examples, as well as what kind of frameworks, evaluation criteria or methodologies are reported in the literature to support the design and evaluation of Interactive Art. As a result of our analysis of Interactive Art examples found in the literature and beyond, we derived four genres of dialogue that emerge naturally or are stressed by authors: visual, embodied, tangible and social. These genres, albeit not comprehensive, can inspire the design of novel forms of interaction in computational systems with or without artistic intent. Moreover, frameworks, evaluation criteria, and methodologies may allow a cross-pollination between Interactive Art and HCI. While interactive artists may provide novel ways to look at the design and evaluation of interactive systems, these artists may also benefit from appropriating traditional HCI methods, tools, and technologies for new purposes. Lastly, we draw on our findings and learned lessons to outline a research agenda with the main objectives of 1) encouraging Interactive Art research, 2) studying Interactive Art examples, 3) practicing Interactive Art design and evaluation, and 4) designing Interactive Art for all.
