Abstract

Interactive digital art installations couple sensor networks, edge computation, and generative artificial intelligence with contemporary landscape design. This paper proposes a four-layer technical pathway covering perception, processing, expression, and interaction, decomposes the response window into perception, processing, and presentation delays with an end-to-end target below 100 ms, and validates the framework through a 24-26 week field deployment of three installations: an urban square (3 200 m², 8 600 visitors/day), a waterfront corridor (420 m linear), and a heritage courtyard (1 850 m²). On the CityPersons reasonable subset, a YOLOv8n detector on a Jetson Orin NX node achieves a log-average miss rate (MR⁻²) of 13.2 ± 0.4 percent with 77 GHz mmWave radar fusion, a 3.2-point improvement over vision-only at a 3.8 ms cost. Observed end-to-end latencies of 63.4 ± 7.2, 82.1 ± 9.6, and 88.7 ± 8.4 ms, week-26 dwell-time retention ratios of 0.84, 0.94, and 0.96, and sensor mean-time-between-failures of 12 480, 8 920, and 14 760 h satisfy the design acceptance criteria. The contribution comprises an instrumented technical pipeline, an aesthetic reconstruction along sensory, narrative, and temporal axes informed by Lynchian imageability and Norberg-Schulz’s genius loci, and a risk-to-countermeasure mapping whose acceptance criteria the deployments satisfy under matched conditions.
