Slide2: 

“Rather than distribute a message to recipients who are outside the process of creation and invited to give meaning to a work of art belatedly, the artist now attempts to construct an environment, a system of communication and production, a collective event that implies its recipients, transforms interpreters into actors, enables interpretation to enter the loop with collective action.” Pierre Lévy, Collective Intelligence: Mankind's Emerging World in Cyberspace (1994)
