Lignum Vitae: an interactive organism design of cyberspace and sonic arts

Abstract

This thesis aims to investigate the nature of artworks created in the scope of cyberspace and sonic art in analysis of the case artwork Lignum Vitae, a multimedia artwork designed to be conducted in gallery space through sonic interactivity. In light of Moholy-Nagy’s Theater of Totality (Moholy-Nagy, 1924) , the depiction of artwork as organism is closely observed and represented through the multi disciplinary aspects of Lignum Vitae, along which the responsiveness of the artwork towards human interaction is explored.
