Installation art can be either temporary or permanent. Installation artworks have
been constructed in exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, as well as
public- and private spaces. The genre incorporates a very broad range of
everyday and natural materials, which are often chosen for their evocative
qualities, as well as new media such as video, sound, performance, immersive
virtual reality and the internet. Many installations are site-specific in that they are
designed to exist only in the space for which they were created.
