About
Christopher Lindinger is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of interactive media art, human-robot interaction, and participatory performance. His work explores how audiences engage with technology, particularly through the lens of co-creation and narrative. Lindinger’s most cited paper, “The (St)Age of Participation: audience involvement in interactive performances” (17 citations), critically examines how the digital age of user-generated content and social networking reshapes contemporary media art and the concept of the stage. He further advances human-robot interaction in “Tell me your story, robot” (9 and 6 citations), where his field experiments demonstrate that introducing an android telecommunication robot as a fiction character significantly boosts users’ perceived usefulness and adoption intention. This research bridges storytelling, robotics, and user experience, showing how narrative framing can transform cold technology into relatable agents. Lindinger’s contributions are vital for artists, designers, and engineers seeking to create more engaging, human-centered interactive systems. His work not only informs the design of future participatory performances but also guides the development of socially acceptable robots, making him a key voice in the evolving dialogue between art, technology, and audience participation.
