The creation of a temporary or permanent area or setting, frequently including a range of materials and media like sound, video and interactive features, is known as installation art.
By physically interacting with the installation, the observer transforms the area or setting into the artwork.
Installation art can be produced in a wide range of locations, such as galleries, museums, public spaces and online.
It can be made to be transported to and placed in several areas or it can be site-specific, meaning it is made for a particular spot.
In addition to being very immersive and enabling the viewer to interact with the piece on a sensory level, installation art frequently blurs the boundaries between art and ordinary life.
The artist or artists who are producing the installation frequently want to question the viewer’s worldview or create a new reality.
