Abstract

The widespread adoption of intelligent technologies has shifted interactive art from mechanically triggered systems to intelligent systems capable of perception and emotional feedback. Within this context, biomimetic aesthetics and affective interaction have emerged as crucial factors in shaping novel artistic experiences. Biomimetic aesthetics draw on natural forms, life structures, and ecological motion patterns to provide visual logic characterized by fluidity and vitality, while affective interaction leverages emotion computation, multimodal expression, and real-time feedback to imbue installations with quasi-subjective traits, fostering emotional connections with viewers. This paper reviews the literature and conducts a theoretical analysis of the application of biomimetic aesthetics and affective interaction in intelligent art installations, examining their integration across visual, behavioral, and emotional dimensions. Findings indicate that intelligent installations are evolving from “operable objects” to “emotionally responsive quasi-living entities,” with future developments emphasizing multispecies aesthetics, ecological materials, and cross-disciplinary integration with artificial life technologies.
