Installed (artistic environment)   (French Equivalent: Installé)

DefinitionFor the purposes of variable media guidelines, to say that an artwork must be “installed” implies that its physical installation is more complex than simply hanging it on a nail. Examples of artworks with this behavior are works that scale to fill a given space or make use of unusual placement such as the exterior of a building or a public plaza. For such works, the variable media questionnaire tracks issues of site-specific placement as well as scale, public access, and lighting.
