An installation artist is an individual who creates artwork that involves the use of space and environment to convey a specific message, emotion or idea. These artists often work with various materials such as found objects, light, sound, textiles, metal or other natural resources to create immersive experiences for viewers. Installation art can be temporary or permanent, and it is designed to engage the audience in a thought-provoking way by altering their perception of space and challenging traditional notions about art.
