What is it? How would you describe it? How is it described?
In my opinion, I would like to describe it as an artwork which could have an interaction with/response to human action, feeling even thinking.
How is it interactive?
As my understanding, Interactive Media is a project, to some extent I would like to call it 'Art Work' includes Three-stage interaction.
The base interactive owns the simplest output and input, which happens on the basic information interaction.
The higher stage of it is about a response to people's feeling and emotion. It requires the creator need to think about how to communicate with people in the project.
The 3rd but the final stage is about to express the thinking and value of the creator through a interactive way.
Why is it interactive?
An interactive way to present a project is more closed to a natural way we communicate and interact with people in daily life. As a natural human, we own ability of interaction through information exchange. Most of us have eager to express own information and expect a response. To some extent, an interactive could simulate a situation people communicating, which is better to express the creator's thinking and enhance the audience understanding of the project.
On the other hand, interactive media bring huge information to participants, which influences people's concentration on the project. Even, it increases the difficulty of understanding to someone unfamiliar with technologies.
Are any of them more interactive than others? If so in what ways?
I think it's 'Phone Story'. As a game, there are more natural and rich methods for interacting with participants, which it's important. At the same time, the game in common is to 'play' and 'interactive' with. People could easier to enter the project and understand the information creators want to express.
What do they all have in common?
They all have a purpose to express the creators' thinking and value. As an artificial project, interactive media must include people's thinking, which waiting for someone to explore it, analysis it and understand it.
