At the beginning "installation" was just an action; an artist could take pieces of materials and "install" them into a piece of art. Or an artist could take a space as his canvas and install various media, allowing the entire space to become a work conveying an idea.
最開始裝置只是一個動作，藝術家可以將一件一件創作媒材「裝置」成一件作品，也可以一個空間為畫布，裝置眾多媒材，使整個空間成為一件傳達想法的作品。
