Installation art is characterized by its site-specificity, meaning that it is created specifically for a particular location and is meant to be experienced in relation to that location.

Traditional painting techniques are not typically used by installation artists to create a sense of time. Instead, they often use light, movement, and interactive elements to create a dynamic and immersive experience for the viewer.

Installation art is often meant to be experienced over an extended period of time, allowing the viewer to engage with the artwork and its surroundings in a more immersive and meaningful way.

Installation art often relies on the viewer's active participation to create a meaningful experience. Viewers may be invited to walk through the artwork, touch it, or interact with it in other ways.
