Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the intersection of art and technology through the lens of interactive digital installations in public spaces. With the rapid advancement of technology and its integration into various aspects of life, the boundaries between traditional art forms and digital mediums have become increasingly blurred. This study investigates how artists and designers are leveraging technology to create interactive art installations that engage and immerse audiences in public settings. The research begins with a comprehensive review of literature that delves into the historical context and theoretical frameworks surrounding art, technology, and public spaces. By examining the evolution of interactive art and the impact of digital technologies on artistic expression, this study aims to provide a critical foundation for understanding the current landscape of interactive digital installations. Methodologically, this research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with artists and designers in the field, observational studies of interactive installations in public spaces, and quantitative data analysis to assess audience engagement and perception. The research methodology section outlines the specific research questions, data collection methods, and analytical techniques employed to investigate the intersection of art and technology in public spaces. The findings of this study reveal the diverse ways in which artists are incorporating technology into their creative practices to transform public spaces into dynamic and interactive environments. Through a detailed discussion of the key themes and trends identified in the data analysis, this thesis highlights the opportunities and challenges associated with the creation and implementation of interactive digital installations in public settings. In conclusion, this thesis underscores the significance of exploring the intersection of art and technology in shaping the future of public art experiences. By examining the potential for technology to enhance artistic expression, engage audiences, and redefine the boundaries of public spaces, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the evolving relationship between art and technology in contemporary society. Overall, this thesis offers valuable insights into the innovative and transformative potential of interactive digital installations in public spaces, providing a foundation for future research and practice in the field of art and technology.
