Interpassivity's Origins
- Interpassivity, developed by Robert Pfaller, is a response to the mid-90s emphasis on interactivity in art.
- Thinkers associated with interpassivity include Pfaller, Slavoj Žižek, and potentially Lacan.
Early Examples of Interpassivity
- Lacan's example of interpassivity is the Greek chorus, which feels emotions on behalf of the audience.
- Žižek uses the example of a sitcom's laugh track, where the show laughs for the viewer.
