Imaginative Interactive Installations

Yulia Drobova's 'Fraternite' Turns a Yard Into Wonderland

— August 24, 2009 — Art & Design
Yulia Drobova's 'Fraternite' installation is an imaginative exploration of fantasy and self using whimsical sculptures placed throughout a grassy lawn. Each sculpture is meant to reflect some aspect of nature, and are outfitted with small mirrors to include the visitor in the reverie.

Implications - Outdoor installations like these are also a great opportunity for people and families to interact with their environment. Urban society has become so technologically run that often people find little time to get some fresh air outdoors. Lovely lawn exhibits like this one promote environmental fun.

We've seen a number of installations that channel the innocence and whimsy of childhood. Check out some of my favorite features that follow this theme below.
Trend Themes
1. Outdoor Interactive Installations - Creating imaginative and interactive installations in outdoor spaces promotes environmental fun and provides an opportunity for people to interact with their environment.
2. Whimsical Sculptural Reflections - Outfitting sculptures with mirrors to include the visitor in the reverie creates a personalized, interactive experience.
3. Nature-inspired Art Installations - Exploring nature and self through art in public spaces creates an opportunity for people to engage with the environment and contemplate personal connections to nature.
Industry Implications
1. Art Installation Industry - Incorporating interactive elements, like mirrors, into outdoor art installations can create personalized and immersive experiences for visitors.
2. Landscape Architecture Industry - Designing outdoor spaces to incorporate installations and other interactive elements can create opportunities for people to engage with the environment and promote environmental fun.
3. Park and Recreation Industry - Incorporating imaginative outdoor installations like Yulia Drobova's 'Fraternite' in public parks and recreation areas can encourage people to spend more time outdoors and promote a deeper connection with nature.
