Happenings and cybernetics have in common that they are interactive. Happenings are interactive because viewers are required to actively participate in each piece. Cybernetics connects control and communication between human and machine. In both there is interactivity because there’s communication between the two subjects. They react back to what is done to them and it reacts back which is considered as communication. The contrast between the two is that happenings is art and cybernetics is scientific. What I find interesting about happenings is the involvement of the viewer. Most of the art depends on the audience engagement. I like the belief that art could be brought into the realm of everyday life. Cybernectics is less interesting to me because of it’s scientific side but the idea of interactivity is the same. 

A very badly edited photo of me from last night when I got bored and stuck bits of circuit board to my face... Uh - I mean; Here's a photo of me with my cybernetics. Eh, dunno if I should bother uploading the ones with me wearing my orange wig or not.... Oh well! ~ Xe'Zo ::) x
