[edit] Cleanup

While this article has become quite in-depth I feel it does not really conform to the Wikipedia standards policy. I am considering placing a notice to this affect on the page. Please leave any comments on the state of the article so I can gage other Wikipedian's feelings before I do this. --Maria N 23:04, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A large part of it is from http://home.iprimus.com.au/painless/space/bonita.html, I'm removing that as a copyright violation, since it's verbatim from that website. Relevant material can be extracted from that website. --sparkit (talk) 04:57, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merging Installation Art with Street Installations

While it's is a form of installation art, I see this as a subcategory within the Graf/Street art realm similar to stencil graffiti, or sticker art and think it should be a stand alone topic. Candice34 15:12, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

What would you think about a merger of Street installations with Street art instead of with Installation art? Pan Dan 16:15, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

It could be merged except that then too you'd really need to merge sticker art, wheatpasting/street poster art, stencil graffiti into it. Instead I just included the right sidebar for the wikigraffiti project. Street installations should be added to this sidebar as a format type (in the first link block) but I dont see a way to do it. Are you involved with this project? Candice34 17:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not. To add things to the sidebar, I imagine you'd want to edit Template:Street Art. Pan Dan 01:18, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I think this is best as a stand-alone article, as it can then be linked to easily from other articles it has connections with such as Installation art and Street art with a summary and the "main article" template. Tyrenius 12:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposed (Interactive installations)

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result was to merge Interactive installations into Installation art, except for the final paragraph. --B. Wolterding 07:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I propose to merge the content of Interactive installations into here, since the notability of that article has been questioned. Since the topics seem to be directly related, it might be best to merge "Interactive installations" into here, if it is relevant. (Unfortunately that article is currently unsourced.) Please add your comments below.

Proposed as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 09:09, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Merging would probably be a good idea. However, this would need a complete rewrite: it's terribly written (the final paragraph in particular). Freshacconci 09:50, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge. The issue of artistic interactivity in general is already addressed at both interactivity and new media art. No need for a third separate page. -- Futurano 09:58, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
