Interactive is primarily a live performance video of Prince (as SymbolSmallerBlue.png) and The NPG included on The Beautiful Experience TV-special. The live footage was shot during the 13 February 1994 (a.m.) concert at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota where Days Of Wild and Now were also filmed.

Occasionally, Prince is seen in a dark studio, behind his soundboard playing the symbol electric guitar. The video also contains footage from the 1993 Glam Slam Ulysses stage-show (The "Scene Ill - The Cyclops" segment). Like Days Of Wild and Now, the live performance is interspersed with scenes featuring Nona Gaye to make a storyline for The Beautiful Experience. interacting with Prince through her computer.

This clip was used for the introduction to the the CD-ROM game Interactive. A different video was shot in June 1993, but this version remains unreleased.

The track is edited and includes a NPG operator cut. The complete song has no known video and when the full studio version was included in Crystal Ball in 1998, Interactive was not used as promotional tool for the compilation.
