Installation Art

Artworks that generates affective environments, often through the application of mixed media (material, light, projection, acoustics/sounds). This can be in gallery spaces, but many installation artists use the wider urban/rural environment as the sites for their work (interior and exterior). Scale can be used playfully (eg. Yoyoi Kusama’s infinity mirrors make small installations look big, Julie Becker’s models are small but still space you ‘enter’ as the audience)
