Installation art is a genre or aesthetics that describes a site-specific, three-dimensional work that is designed to alter ones insight of a certain space. It is an experiment on the community exposed, a radical form of self-expression, and its understanding and acceptance or rejection depends on a sense of self-reliance (Delahunt, Michael). It is a radical form of self expression due to the fact that one is transforming one perception of a space to another. It is of a three-dimensional format that one can experience through all sensory receptors. One can touch and fell what the artist feels or smell or hear. Or, to take the extreme opposition, one’s emotions might not be stirred as another’s might be, just like all kinds of art. Installations can take a variety of forms such as digital-based art, gallery based, electronic based, and web-based. There are an infinite number of possibilities, all depending on the artists aim, concept and motive. All materials can be used as a method of expression such as man-made items, painting, sculpture, and new media such as video, film, photography, performance, audio, and computers (Visual Arts Cork).
