\u201cOn Display: Interactive Art as Ergodic Text\u201d is at once a celebration of interactive art\u2014art that requires the viewer to play an integral role in the piece itself\u2014and a unique opportunity to experience such art through the framework of the ergodic. Introduced into textual studies by Espen J. Aarseth in 1997, the term ergodic derives from the Greek words ergon and hodos\u2014\u201dwork\u201d and \u201cpath\u201d\u2014and describes texts that are deliberately structured to demand a \u201cnontrivial,\u201d \u201cextra-noematic\u201d effort in order to \u201ctraverse\u201d them. This effort involves interaction in various forms, compelling readers to shape their own unique engagement with the text.<\/p>\n
