I tried to cover all the aspects of installations that I found relevant to the project I am doing and I ended up writing about installations in general, then digital installations and then digital installations using light.
I put examples of artists' work to illustrate the types I was talking about. While writing the literature review I came to realize that when discussing installations, especially art installations, there is not much theory out there and the right way to go would be discussing relevant artists and installations in particular and then summarizing or pointing out differences.
One thing that made the research particularly difficult was the labeling. And what I mean by that is that different sources call the same things in a different way that they seem to decide for themselves. It can be really confusing to try gather information and analyze it when even the naming of it has not been commonly established.
However, for the purposes of the literature review, I chose to use labels that seemed to be the most commonly understood and used.
In my hand-in I also included initial designs of what my vision for this installation is. They were basic drawings showing the installation and what happens when viewers interact with it. The basic idea is of a city responding to the people through light.
