Abstract

This research addresses "Interactive Context and Postmodern Art Techniques," with the researcher aiming to highlight the concepts of interaction in contemporary art and the role of the audience in engaging with these arts. The research is divided into four chapters. The first chapter presents the general framework, addressing the research problem through the following question: What are the interactive contexts in postmodern art? It also includes an overview of the research's significance, objectives, temporal and spatial boundaries, methodology, and a definition of the essential terms upon which the study is based. The second chapter focuses on the theoretical framework, divided into two sections: the first (Interactive Context in Contemporary Art) and the second (Interaction Techniques in Postmodern Art). The third chapter discusses the research procedures adopted by the researcher, including the research population and sample, methodology, research tools, and content analysis of the sample. The fourth chapter provides a comprehensive review of the key findings the researcher arrived at:

1-Interaction is a fundamental condition in contemporary art; it is not just a technical addition but a philosophical and intellectual system.

2-Interaction is a shift from passive to active reception. The evolution of art has driven the audience to engage with it, making them an active part of its aesthetic and philosophical system.

3-Context plays a formative role in art, which is not isolated from its social, cultural, and historical contexts that affect the essence of the work and its understanding, in addition to the conclusions.
