"It seems that in the very moment of its triumph ""interaction' has exhausted itself--in both concept and practice. In art, and surprisingly even in engagements with technology, interactivity as often thought or practiced seems inadequate to what's really going on. It too often leads only to an impoverished and prescriptive set of relations that are neither interesting or fun. Gathering Ecologies explores rich alternatives to this now exhausted interactivity. It navigates a series of valuable paths through new ways of thinking about relation in art in general, and relations between art and technology in particular. In opening up new ways of thinking the dynamic ecologies involved, Goodman provides an exciting and complex ""post-interaction"" view on how events do gather in art, and how they might also gather differently, given the change. - Andrew Murphie"
