Installation art is a type of contemporary visual arts that involves the creation of an immersive and interactive environment, often using various mediums such as sculpture, painting, photography, video or sound. It typically requires space and time to be fully experienced by the viewer, who becomes part of the work itself. Installation art can challenge traditional notions of art by incorporating elements that engage all senses, inviting viewers to interact with the piece in a unique way. The term "installation" refers both to the process of creating an installation and the final product itself - a site-specific creation designed for a particular space or location.
