ABSTRACT

Interactive art installations represent an innovative convergence of art, science, and education, offering transformative learning opportunities through multi-sensory engagement. This paper investigates the role of these installations in science education, providing theoretical frameworks, case studies, and best practices. Drawing from constructivist and cognitive learning theories, the study demonstrates how interactive art fosters curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking while enhancing scientific literacy and technical skills. Case studies, such as synk exercises and landscapes of instrumentation, highlight successful implementations across diverse audiences. Furthermore, design principles and future directions emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, inclusivity, and the integration of advanced technologies to ensure continued educational impact. This work emphasizes the potential of interactive art installations as a bridge between artistic creativity and scientific exploration, transforming conventional pedagogical approaches.

Keywords: interactive art installations, science education, multisensory learning, art-science collaboration, constructivist learning theory.
