I recently found out the fine line that seperates installation art and sculpture and that line is the involvement of the audience. Many installation art pieces get misinterprated with sculptures because the viewer has no involment in it at all. Installation art is interractive and in my opinion should always be interactive or else it wiil just become a sculpture. The involvement of mediums such as photography and video also can help a piece. If an artist does a piece relating to a foreign country that most viewers will know nothing about, it adds more of an impact if the viewer sees photographs or videos that the artist took. It reassures the viewer that the artist has been there.
