> Thesis Title: Interfacing Art, Technology and Experience
> Arguments: Observing the relationship between art, technology and experience through the lenses of the interface. Can the essential characteristics of the interface be found in the articulation of art, technology and experience?
_recognizing the conceptual basis of the interface (extension, depth, plasticity, paradoxical transparency/opacity, specular, etc)
_The current definition of "me" and "my body" and the consequent evolution of the "potential experience"
_The technology's state of the art and the consequent "possible experience".
_The digital art and the "real (concrete) experience"
