An interactive installation is an artwork designed to actively engage the viewer by unfolding in physical space and interacting with its environment. It often responds to public action through mechanical, electronic, or digital devices, whether through movement, sound, light, or other technologies, creating a dynamic and memorable experience. This interaction may take place in a transit area or public space, and the installation may be temporary or permanent. It operates independently of other works.

- Learning and creativity: An artistic installation can stimulate learning and creativity, especially among children.
