Questions 11-15-11

The reading focuses on the differences between interactive, reactive, and collaborative artwork. Often the differences between these three specified styles of artworks can become blurry. In the text, the author uses the statement "one rung above" to refer to the styles of these art styles. My question is, what does that mean? If 'one rung above' is referring to the art styles being better, or on a higher level, compared to other art styles that denounce the interaction with others, how is this justified?

My second question follows suit of my previous question, or at least on a similar tangent. There is the question of the audience in projects that are dynamically interactive or collaborative... and if the audience to these projects shares the same audience of fine art projects. These two different leagues of art styles could be separated in many ways, and one could question if it is smart to combine these different art styles in the same gallery or display area. The question is, do fine art and collaborative/interactive/reactive arts differ in such immense ways that they should be separated physically or should they continue to be held under one umbrella label of "art"?
