Experiential Art & Advertising: How blurry is the line that separates them?
Experiential art connects viewers to one another and to the work itself in ways that surround, captivate and fascinate - producing experiences that are anything but ordinary. It was only a matter of time before the advertising industry jumped on board. “I believe art is a bottomless pit to be used for experiential inspiration. It allows advertisers and brands to behave badly or strangely and with a shrug of the shoulders say 'it's art',” explains Campaign. For art purists, that may be an uncomfortable line of thought. For agency executives, it’s a line of thought that works.
