A new world is before me, full of color and wonder. This is my first time in an interactive art world. I let giant whales swim over my feet, chase butterflies and frogs as they flutter and hop in this mysterious universe. After a spell, I come to my senses and see the table where you can add your own design to this interactive spectacle.I select a butterfly, and slowly add colors and shapes that will bring my little creature to life. I methodically fill in the blank canvas, concentrating on staying within the lines like a small child. With each crayon I select, I find my childhood imagination growing like a proverbial weed in the garden of my youth. My finished work. I’ve added two hearts, one to each wing. This world needs all the love it can get. I take my butterfly over to the scanner and slowly slide my image into the interactive world. After a moment, my butterfly emerges from its cocoon, and flutters its wings as it goes out into this new world. Within seconds though, a small girl excitedly jumps and smashes my butterfly into a colorful mess. It rises, shakes off the trampling of little feet, and starts it’s journey again, only to have a jungle frog obliterate my little creation into a million colorful stars that fade and melt into this sea of interactive nothingness. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/creating-new-worlds-with-interactive-art/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20creating%20new%20worlds%20with%20interactive%20art&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fcreating-new-worlds-with-interactive-art%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/creating-new-worlds-with-interactive-art/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/creating-new-worlds-with-interactive-art/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/creating-new-worlds-with-interactive-art/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/creating-new-worlds-with-interactive-art/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
