Tactical Media as Virtuosic Performance

Why is interactive such an important thing in our society? What draws humans to interactive things? It can be seen through theories on education and teaching, which stress the importance of involving the student as well as in workshops (people complain when made to sit too long) and art. This can be seen through the quote from Lovink that says some of this tactical media "offers participants in the projects a new way of seeing, understanding, (and in the best-case scenario) interacting with a given scenario."

While talking about resistance and "being-against," the text mentions the idea that there is a difference between those that act because they are focusing on individual freedom (and fighting for it) or because of social justice, however both can use modern media and final pieces of both can sometimes be exchanged, why are they different? Or alternatively, what are their similarities?
