Event and Meaning: Reading Interactive Installations in the Light of Art History
Roberto Simanowski demonstrates in a close reading of two interactive in- stallations that they do not simply create an event as “a period of time to be lived through” (Bourriaud 15). Looking at Still Standing by Bruno Nadeau and Jason Lewis and Zachary Booth Simpson’s Mondrian, Simanowski maintains that these pieces do not only offer two different concepts of the interactors’ actions and hence body experiences; they also engage in a very difficult way with the issues of inter- and transmediality and thereby refer to the history of the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century.

"No Preexistent World": On "Natural" and "Artificial" Forms of Poetry
Peter Gendolla pursues a paradox accompanying the literary avant-garde from Romanticism to the most current electronic installations; namely, that they want to bring back the cold, dead culture into “natural” life and that they are doing this with the most advanced technological procedures. They become more and more “technical” with the impulse not only to dissolve the division of the genres but also to transfer art at least by way of literary means into “natural” forms of life; thus, they are continually developing new forms of aesthetic difference that have to be differentiated from either nature or culture.
