Artist two adds to the story and passes it on to three and so on until the narrative reaches its conclusion at artist number eight.

On LEA4: Interact!, curated by L1Aura Loire/Lori Landay
Opening October 15
Virtual art can invite, or even insist, that you interact with it. The artists in this exhibition cleverly and creatively make art out of interactions between data, objects, actions, and people within and beyond the virtual world in a stunning array of installations and experiences that stretch the possibilities of virtual art. Expect the unexpected, and click whenever you can. #interactLEA
