Art Interactive, Cambridge, MA

I found Art Interactive randomly while walking with my friend to the Whole Foods off of Mass. Ave. Naimark had mentioned an interactive exhibit in Harvard Square, but I think this is the one that he was thinking of as I actually never found anything like he had described there.

Sadly however, I was only able to find my way there later when it was closed... snuck in the first time and toured the floor of powerless exhibits, sort of like walking through an interactive art graveyard. There was a moment actually where I thought that the haptic feedback on one piece was just broken, until I looked down and noticed that it was unplugged. Ah. There was something amusing about moving amongst those sleeping machines.

The next time I went back on the weekend, I had seen a schedule for Saturday and Sunday, the entire building was closed and I couldn't even get into the lobby. So much for interactive art installations... it's nice to know that it's there, but it would be even nicer to experience it.
