relational aesthetics

|

a set of artistic practices which take as their theoretical and practical point of departure the whole of human relations and their social context, rather than an independent and private space | nicolas bourriaud

relational aesthetics is a form of new genre public art wherein the artist is the facilitator rather than the maker; his/her art is regarded as information exchanged between them and the viewer(s). The artist, in this sense, gives audiences access to power and the means to change the world.
