Installation art is a genre of art that incorporates any media to create a visceral and/or conceptual experience in a particular environment.

It can include any media from tree branches to words or, more traditional media such as sculpture, video, sound, and space itself.

Some installations are site-specific; they can only exist in the space for which they were created.
