My favorite artist at the exhibit was Daniel Rozin's Peg Mirror and Snow Mirror. These were my favorite because not only could you interact with the piece and it personally showed you in the space, but it actually transformed you into the piece. It took you from a traditional museum setting and put you into a snowy wonderland and back.
With Peg Mirror, I was really amazed at how intricate and sophisticated the inner-workings of the mirror were. It's far more that a camera and an image on a screen. Each little piece of wood was attached to a motor and moved to make your face or cater to your specific movements.
Over all I thought that the Act/React show was awesome, much better that walking around looking at paintings, (which I really don't mind doing, I'm minoring in Art History) but being able to have the opportunity to interact with the works as much as you were able to do, especially in a museum setting was a very fun experience!

Kelsey,
This entry is a bit short in length, and therefore, your ideas are not quite developed. I think that you are on the right track, but you need to be more descriptive in your analysis of the works and how one can compare them.
Consider the reader to be someone outside of class, which should help you to describe the works more thoroughly and assists in your argument.
