An interactive installation is a type of art or exhibit that encourages audience participation. Unlike traditional art forms, which are often passive, these installations allow viewers to engage directly with the artwork, often using technology or physical interaction. This engagement can create a unique experience for each participant, making the art feel more personal and dynamic. These installations can be found in various settings, including museums, galleries, and public spaces. They often incorporate elements like virtual reality, sensors, or projectors to create immersive environments. Artists like Olafur Eliasson and Ryoji Ikeda are known for their innovative interactive works that challenge viewers to think and feel differently about their surroundings.
