Interactive art installations are creative spaces where viewers can engage directly with the artwork. Unlike traditional art, which is often meant to be observed from a distance, these installations invite participation, allowing people to influence the art through their actions. This can include touching, moving, or even speaking to the artwork, creating a unique experience for each visitor. These installations often use technology, such as sensors or projections, to respond to the audience's interactions. Artists like Olafur Eliasson and Ryoji Ikeda have gained recognition for their innovative works that blend art and technology, making the viewer an integral part of the artistic experience.
