Performance, installation and environmental art are often related to and dependent on other art forms such as painting, sculpture, drama and dance. Artists engaged in these art forms frequently rely on their peers working in traditional media to assist them with the activities necessary for the development and execution of projects.

Artists involved in performances, installations and environmental art are primarily interested in the process rather than the product. They act out, or construct areas of influence where spirit worlds often specify behavior and also function as the primary source in determining the quality of aesthetics. In this arena “true art” cannot be directed by the uninspired or the impure. Artists guided by these views are committed to the sacrifice of self through spiritual contemplation and expression, and aesthetic concerns. The communicative power of performances, spaces, and environments is designed to evoke significant memories that inform and enrich society as a whole.
