Interactive Installation: Communicate with the Recipient and Outer Space Josie Rafael Soto's as a Case Study

Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to explore the dynamic interaction between graphic art and its recipients, drawing insights from artist Soto's experience with interactive installations. It seeks to address key questions, such as how Soto achieved interactive artistic engagement in his installations, particularly in relation to the recipient and external surroundings. The research also examines the impact of these works on the reception mechanism of installation art.

Methods: The study used the descriptive analytical approach in observing and analyzing four works of art by the artist Soto and their impact on outer space with the recipient.

Results: The study showed that the interactive installation of the artist Soto took his artistic achievement out of its narrow space to the galleries to open up to a wider field in partnership with outer space. It also revealed that interactive installation is an example of the overlapping of arts, as a group of arts participated with each other to produce a contemporary artwork that proceeds from the interaction of the recipient within his culture.

Conclusions : The study concluded that the recipient forms an essential component of the texture of the interactive installation work. It also showed that Soto's work has contributed to integration and unity through the integration of the recipient's body into the texture of the artwork. Recipient interaction within the artwork has added integrated aesthetic values conveyed through the interplay of visual and sensorial elements. This significantly enhances the overall impact of the artwork.
