Interpassivity
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Media_studies/u4dgw2G8">media studies</a>, interpassivity is the phenomenon whereby a piece of art or technology seems to act on the audience or user's behalf; it is the opposite of <a href="/facts/Interactivity/9LeFR3ru">interactivity</a>. The meaning of the term was interpreted mainly (in German) by Robert Pfaller [de] in 1996, and was quickly taken up by <a href="/facts/Slavoj_%25C5%25BDi%25C5%25BEek/HsmlUoCy">Slavoj Žižek</a>. </p>
