Scope note
Art in which people are socially or physically engaged directly in an artwork, allowing them to become creative participants in a work or action, to the extent that they may be considered co-authors, though usually anonymous. This type of work is considered incomplete without the interaction of viewers or audience. For technological works that require physical manipulation, or that are directed by formal instructions given by the artist, use "interactive art."
