It seems to me the project, such as Text Rain, Stream of Consciousness, Drawing from life and so on, are really interesting interactive text projects to me. The participants can interact with the texts both in physical and virtual space. The author, Camille Utterback, addressed the definition of a practical interface as maintaining the user’s sense of control. In the projects mentioned the definition seems fitting in very well. However, I wonder if whether this viewpoint can be true? When interacting with the new media, is the control function the users are pursuing? For example, if the user interacts with a robot with AI, the interface can be as simple as control. How do you guys think of the definition of interface by the author?
