1. — 18 p.Abstract: Software engineering has been in contact with new media art for years, although the connections between these fields have rarely been explicit. In this article we discuss the software engineering issues that appear in one of the new media art subfields, namely interactive installation art, as reported in the literature. Interactive installations arc often heavily dependent on software and thus software engineering issues arc important to consider. The goal of this article is to provide a road map for artists who need software engineering skills for the purpose of communicating with software engineers or for acting themselves as programmers of their artworks. Additionally, software engineers who start working with interactive installation art will profit from this summary of relevant reports.
