What makes interactive media interesting?
What makes interactive media interesting to me is first and foremost the designing of applications, interfaces with the user in mind. To create interesting, usable designs that the user is able to manage in the smoothest possible way and also leads to positive user-experiences. In attaining this combining content in a manner which also best supports the goals of the application and the organisation behind it, aswell with the possibility to take part of the content in many various perspectives are what makes it interesting to me.
What is interaction in regard to consciousness?
Anytime the user takes action with the design and the design reacts interactivity occurs. Whether the user is more conscious or not in the actions it is still interactions. When a person watches movie or listen to music she is interacting in a more internal fashion. The reaction takes place after some time - for example when the song ends, the listener changes song according to mood created in the first song, or next time she chooses a movie the one before has taken a grip on her and makes her interact and grab a new movie with the one before in mind. The hard part is to decide if it's interactivity or not. Whatsoever reactions that are more instant, for example clicking on an interface on a web page or mobile phone, with the user more consicous in the descision is more manageble to understand in motives and purpose.
