Open Score

I feel even today, Open Score would be a rather impressive piece to view, mostly because of the scale of the project, but also the technology used is, even today, not thought of and obscure. A lot of art today pushes the boundaries on what people may all "art", because the artists of the work strive to shock the public and create something unheard of. While I believe shock and wow factor is still available to the public for response to art, it seems to be the only notion taken into consideration for when making art anymore, which is depressing in a manner.

The concept and execution of Open Score leaves the viewer very interested in the interactive and obscure nature of the piece. I wish I could have participated in the piece myself, looking at the recording of it.
