Popis: This article explores the potential contributions of Gibson's Ecological Psychology to artistic creation within the scope of Interactive Sound Installations. It provides a historical overview of the evolution of this form of art, highlighting the growing emphasis on the role of space and body (audience action) in shaping interactive art concepts. The article delves into how ecological acoustics research has integrated interdisciplinary perspectives from sociology, anthropology, and cognitive science to promote a more equitable and fair acoustic environment. Considering that the concept of the body embedded in the world is both central to interactive arts and Cognitive Science, particularly to Gibson's Ecological Psychology, this text presents its main aspects. It then discusses how these aspects can be applied in Interactive Sound Installations. In conclusion, it suggests that applying Ecological Psychology concepts to Interactive Sound Installations can contribute to the goals of recent acoustic ecology in creating a fairer acoustic environment.
