Installation Art is a large piece of modern art that can be indoors or outdoors that evokes emotion from the viewer. It can be interactive and involve more than just the sense of sight. It is most commonly absurd and makes the viewer curious.
I have come across numerous art installations that have caught my eye:
1. San Gennaro North Gate
Created for a festival by SOFTlab this art installation is created out of 4224 laser cut panels that together for a structure with two oculus'. It is held together with 6000 aluminum grommets and is suspended with wire cable to the surrounding buildings. It was made for this specific site and will only take its true for when attached to the proper buildings. The festival is called "The Feast of San Gennaro" and takes place in Little Italy. It is a celebration to commemorate Italian immigrants coming to America looking to improve their lives.
2. Waste Not
Over 10,000 everyday objects from one Chinese woman's life were displayed at the MoMa. This installation told a story of her 50 years of life and was spread over an entire floor. From empty toothpaste containers to shoelaces and everything else in between, these various objects show just how much we as humans use in a lifetime. "Waste not" was a Chinese Communist saying to encourage people to reuse things, this installation is also a reminder of how we treat our planet and how much waste we throw away.
3. RGB Wall
In normal light this wall looks like a collage of animals in multicolours but in red, green or blue light the wall transforms so that only specific animals from particular time periods are seen. Created by Carnovsky, the lighting also triggers a different psychological state depending on the colour ie. red for wakefulness.
