As for their purpose, they tend to be used as an alternative to more traditional artwork. In this respect, viewers are able to enter, move around, and interact with it in a way not possible with paintings and sculptures. 

The philosophy behind this genre of artwork has been employed for ages. One notable example is the immersive experience of Theme Parks like Disneyland, or take place every year in Mumbai by the name of, Kala Ghoda Festival. It’s a festival which represents various kinds of Art Installations.

When you see something that shouldn’t quite be there and stands out in an obvious manner, and yet somehow fits in the surroundings in a peculiar way, you’re probably looking at another piece of art.
