An “environment” is an artwork that is actively participated in by the viewer. As the viewer moves through or around an environment, they are stimulated by objects, light, moving images, and sounds.

However, the important history of this art form is not well understood, as most pioneering environments have been dismantled after being exhibited, and the art world has until now focused almost exclusively on male artists.
