Abstract

Contemporary music festivals have evolved from single-stage performances into complex fields integrating diverse cultural experiences and deep social interactions. As a core element of spatial construction, art installations play an irreplaceable role in reinforcing ritual atmospheres, guiding collective interactions, and catalyzing emotional resonance. However, current installation design generally exhibits tendencies of prioritizing technology over emotion and the individual over the collective, mostly focusing on visual spectacles and individual sensory stimulation, while lacking systematic consideration of group interaction and emotional cohesion. This makes it difficult for audiences to form lasting emotional memories and group identity. How to elevate installations from “visual embellishment” to “emotional ritual generator” has become a core issue demanding urgent resolution. Based on interaction ritual chain theory, this study explores the design turn and strategies for art installations at music festivals.
