Interactive, Reflective, and BIG Art with Lauren Kilb

Interactive, Reflective, and BIG Art with Lauren Kilb

Author: Jesse Fortune & Erik Ringman October 4, 2023 Duration: 1:42:09

In this episode the guys sit down with Lauren Kilb, longtime Location 1980 artist whose specialty is interactive art: pieces that once built, are only truly complete when the audience participates in what the piece has set up. In this way, the piece is not a static thing but a context for a conversation to take place between participants and artist, or participants and each other. Those who engage with the piece are elevated from mere spectators and become creators themselves. They have involvement and essentially choice rather than detached viewership. The piece gains an infinity, because the experience of it is as endlessly varietal as the people who engage with it, and simultaneously a deep personality as each person's involvement make their experience inimitably their own.

Fortune and Ringman have a knack for drawing out the specific details and broader themes that matter to makers and enthusiasts alike.
