Installation art with technology intervention is used to present material perception and natural environmental memory through space composition, sensory interaction and embodied viewing in this paper. Based on the above research, technology can create a digital effect for installation art; at the same time, it has also altered our perception and memory of materials, light, sound, and fragments of landscape. Based on recent studies of installation art and the body, memory-oriented practice-as-research, and ecological installation work, it can be shown that embodied viewers construct meaning through tactile, visual, and proprioceptive experiences. Technology and the medium of digital memory can also be used to preserve the traces of space, stimulate sensory perception, create an immersive environment for remembrance. Therefore, it is more suitable for technology-enhanced installation art to support, rather than substitute for, the physical presence of materials and the specificity of environments.
