\nThis project researches interactivity as a possibility for an artistic experience. Art is approached as an experience through a perspective from the body, concentrating in a context of art and technology. The interactive art provided with an artificial sensory system acquires relevance in the public mediation and contributes to the aesthetic experience. It\u2019s perception is distinct from the human\u2019s perception, allowing new insights of the human body. Therefore, the relationship between body and media is established from the indeterminacy potentials contained in their perceptions. As a result of the theoretical and practical research, we developed an interactive installation that promotes an encounter between the artist\u2019s virtual body and the interactor\u2019s physical body through the mediation of a sensitive artwork, creating an artistic experience as a bodily interval.<\/p>\n
