Highly recommend to read the list. It will Help you what approaches in philosophical perspective or theories you want to take for your installation art and experiential experience design

This list will offer you certain directions in creative perspectives—interdisciplinary, critical and ethical views—that you may consider intertwining.

Updated material: Interactive art installation: philosophical perspective and theories

In the context of installation and experiential design, a Proof of Concept (POC) is a preliminary model or prototype used to demonstrate the feasibility, viability, and creative direction of a design concept. While the POC in product design focuses on technical functionality and market potential, in installation and experiential design, the emphasis shifts toward:

  1. Feasibility and Interaction: Demonstrating that the interactive elements, spatial experiences, or sensory effects of the design can function in real-world settings. For example, testing projection mapping or how users engage with a responsive installation.

    1. Film/animation is One of the major interactive elements in your installation, game or XR? Show your film/animation. No storyboard anymore.

  2. Audience Engagement: Ensuring the concept achieves the desired emotional or intellectual impact on the audience. This could involve creating a small-scale version of the installation to observe how users interact with it and whether it provokes the intended response.

    1. What is your the major emotions you want to evoke? Provocative? Uncomfortable? How?
    2. Challenge the general notion? What? And how?

  3. Experience Flow: I shared experience flow map in class.

    Validating that the journey or experience flows as expected. Does the audience move through the space as designed? Are the transitions between different sensory stimuli effective and meaningful?

  4. Technical Integration: MUST: Testing the integration of technology, such as AR/VR, sensors, or interactive media, within the installation. The POC would demonstrate that all technological components function cohesively within the space.

  5. Aesthetic and Spatial Success: Examining if the aesthetics (lighting, materials, projections, etc.) and the use of space convey the intended narrative or artistic message effectively.

A POC in this field serves to verify that the conceptual design elements—both technical and experiential—are functional, engaging, and aligned with the project’s goals.
