I thought this article was extremely complicated. I think I got the main idea of it, so I will attempt to answer the question.
If you look at the present examples of participatory art like with Youtube and other online community websites, you notice that everyone has an opinion that may be heard. People are encouraged to add to the art, share their thoughts, or feelings and become “collaborators”. On Youtube it’s through text or video responses. On Facebook it could be through a quick comment, or status update, or even simply by “liking” someone else’s post or idea. The idea of making art something others can actively participate, has not only begun with these outlets though. The article explains of a mock trial of anarchist author turned nationalist Maurice Barres, where the public could sit in as a jury. Another example of the participatory arts in the past is the Storming of the Winter Palace, somewhat of a historical reenactment involved 8,000 performers and artists. People are no longer just an audience who interprets something and moves onto the next outlet. People can now participate, collaborate and interact with the art, and now more than ever it seems to be becoming more and more popular.
In the past
