Installation Art

Installation artworks frequently take up a whole space requiring the viewers to journey through it so that they can interact completely with the art. Installation art is distinct from sculpture and many other conventional creative works. It is a cohesive whole rather than a collection of discrete, independent pieces of art.

The spectators can directly engage with installation art and this type of art produces highly interactive experiences that promote conversations between viewers and the artwork. 

An example of installation art is "The Weather Project " which was developed by Olafur Eliason in 2003 for Tate Modern. He wanted to create the illusion of a huge sun rising through a light mist. His artificial sun was surrounded by low-frequency lighting, which allowed just the golden glow of the sun to dominate the area and transformed all other colors into magnificent tones of gold and black. 

The shimmering sphere was created by illusionist and installation artist Olafur Eliasson using a semicircle of light that is reflected by mirrored panels on the ceiling. Visitors could see their reflections as if they were floating in the sky above them thanks to these mirrored panels that covered the entire ceiling, giving them the impression that they were weightlessly floating in space.  (marianacustodio.com) 

Personally, I find it to be quite captivating and fascinating. I believe Olafur did a fantastic job in conveying the project's premise, and I have never witnessed anything like it.
