Installation art is a much more difficult term to define because the artist is not limited to any one place, material, or utensil. It’s turning an object or place into art by conceptualizing it. A simple way of defining installation art would be to say it’s when 3D artwork takes over a particular space. The whole environment can be art rather than a specific space such as a canvas. Installation art is increasingly becoming more popular. The reason artist’s choose to make installation art is because it allows for “individual experience” and takes creativity to another level with objects and places found in everyday life. You can literally use anything to create installation art if it’s conceptualized. As the video stated, “anything could be art as long as it were legitimized”.
The art that I felt was inspirational and interesting in the video was the art gallery that literally became a piece of installation art. The whole side of the building was turned into a rotating masterpiece. I felt it was inspirational and almost ironic because, why not turn an art gallery into art? What a novelty concept!
The theme I chose to explore was nature, specifically the sky. This is because I have always been intrigued with meteorology and astronomy. I want to incorporate technology with nature.
The material I will use is a computer, an i phone, an i pad, a television, and a real plant.
The installation will be in my living room because I want to portray how technology has captivated this day in age and in my opinion has led to an artificial lifestyle.

Below are links to four different views of my installation:
My installation is meant to show that technology is replacing the natural world. The blinds in my living room were deliberately closed to enforce the idea of humans are being cut off from the outside world. I chose sunshine to bring up on all the screens because people waste their days on their phone, watching television, “surfing the net”, and now newer technology is making it even easier to take all of these materials mobile with you. The plant was brought in to show life and that sunlight is needed in order for the plant and for us to survive. The photographs taken of my installation art did not quite do the project justice but I hope you feel it's conveyed well enough.
