Is There Love in the Telematic Embrace?

This article brings up good points about science being integrated into art. Telematic systems and databases are becoming more and more popular in net art today. I like the point Roy Ascott made when he talked about how instead of art being just viewed traditionally, now the viewers interact with the art and in some ways become a part of it. From this point I think there is love in the telematic embrace. Most people find viewing art boring and only spend seconds in front of a piece of artwork, but when you actively give viewers the opportunity to become part of the art they enjoy it more. With interactive telematic art you give people the chance to interact with the art as well as interacting with other participants.
