Comprehensive Framework for Describing Interactive Sound Installations: Highlighting Trends through a Systematic Review

: We report on a conceptual framework for describing interactive sound installations from three complementary perspectives: artistic intention, interaction and system design. Its elaboration was informed by a systematic review of 181 peer-reviewed publications retrieved from the Scopus database, which describe 195 interactive sound installations. The resulting taxonomy is based on the comparison of the different facets of the installations reported in the literature and on existing frameworks, and it was used to characterize all publications. A visualization tool was developed to explore the different facets and identify trends and gaps in the literature. The main ﬁndings are presented in terms of bibliometric analysis, and from the three perspectives considered. Various trends were derived from the database, among which we found that interactive sound installations are of prominent interest in the ﬁeld of computer science. Furthermore, most installations described in the corpus consist of prototypes or belong to exhibitions, output two sensory modalities and include three or more sound sources. Beyond the trends, this review highlights a wide range of practices and a great variety of approaches to the design of interactive sound installations.


Introduction
In the past two decades, new interfaces for musical expression garnered increased interest, along with the democratization of sensor and micro-controller technologies [1]. This rise in popularity has been accompanied by increased research attention to musical interfaces, as illustrated by the emergence of dedicated conferences, such as the New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) conference (https://www.nime.org/ (accessed on 9 April 2021)) created in 2002. In this review, we focus on a specific type of musical interfaces: interactive sound installations. Such installations, which can be traced back to the 1950s [2], have benefited from this recent democratization, leading to an unprecedented variety of practices and creative contexts that have not been systematically documented yet [3]. It is difficult to situate or compare sound installations given their variety within existing frameworks and reviews. The present comprehensive review proposes a conceptual framework to systematically describe and analyze interactive sound installations documented in research publications, and to identify similarities and differences in design and implementation, along with trends and possible gaps in the literature. Additionally, a visualization tool is provided as an interactive web application (https://isi-database.herokuapp.com/ (accessed on 9 April 2021)), to allow sound artists, designers and researchers to explore the corpus from three perspectives using the proposed framework.
A few conceptual frameworks and reviews have been proposed to position and categorize new interfaces for musical expression. Wanderley and colleagues analyzed interactive sound generating systems (e.g., musical interfaces and installations) from system design and semantic perspectives; the former discussed topics such as sensors and feedback, sensor signal analysis, mapping and sound synthesis, while the latter looked at questions such as the goals of interaction and the expertise of users, the role of sound display and the physical approach to the system [4,5]. Birnbaum et al. established a dimensional space to characterize musical devices with properties derived from human-computer interaction studies [6]. Similarly, Hattwick proposed a dimensional space to investigate collaborative musical devices [7], and Paine classified real-time interfaces for musical expression through a taxonomy derived from a survey of performers [8]. Morreale et al. proposed a framework for describing the design process of musical interfaces [9]. Sanfilippo defined an analytical framework to situate feedback musical systems [10]. Johnston et al. identified modes of interactions of virtual musical instruments [11], while Wallis et al. proposed design heuristics for musical instruments based on criteria for long-term engagement from amateur musicians [12]. Landy established a thorough framework and an associated resource website (http://ears.huma-num.fr/index.html (accessed on 9 April 2021)) that provides theoretical support for understanding various aspects of sound art and electroacoustic composition [13]. Concerning sound installations uniquely, Lacey proposed three approaches and ten attributes for enduring sound installations in public spaces [14]; and Bandt reviewed various sound installations in Australia and proposed a guideline for sound installation design in the public realm [15]. Although useful for positioning and situating new musical interfaces and sound installations, those frameworks and reviews are not specific for interactive sound installations.
Interactive sound installations are limited here to interactive environments in which sound is one of the main mediums of expression or communication. In other words, we consider all multimedia installations where sound is one of the input or output modality. They can be, but are not limited to, artistic installations. These installations rely on real-time interactions with people or consist in adaptive systems, namely, systems that respond to external conditions, such as systems that react to the state of the surrounding environment (for conciseness, the term "interactive sound installation" will include both interactive and adaptive installations). Interaction is defined here as "a reciprocal action between several actors of the same system [...] resulting in a modification of the state of the implied actors" [2]. It can consist in an exchange of information, energy and/or affect [2,16]. Environment adaptive systems are defined as systems that are able to change state as a function of the external environment. They are able to adapt to changing environmental conditions [10]. There have been few attempts to define a conceptual framework dedicated to interactive sound installations. Blaine and Fels identified several contextual elements and design parameters to describe collaborative musical interfaces, including interactive sound installations [17]. Le Prado proposed to characterize the design process of interactive sound installations across their main protagonists: the designer, the system and the interactor [18]. More recently, Goudarzi proposed a taxonomy of interaction in participatory sound art and interactive sonification systems [19,20]. Though these and previous frameworks are useful for characterizing interactive sound installations, they were not based on any systematic literature review.
The present work is an attempt to reconcile those frameworks and studies in the form of a taxonomy for characterizing interactive sound installations within a wider scope, and an associated systematic review of trends and practices concerning their design as presented in academic publications in the Scopus database. This taxonomy was informed both deductively from existing frameworks and reviews, and inductively, through a systematic review of scientific literature with a corpus of 181 documents describing a total of 195 interactive sound installations. In other words, the taxonomy brings together frameworks from the literature and features emerging within the review that were not included in existing frameworks. The corpus consists of scholarly publications and does not in-clude other sources outside of the academic realm, such as artists' statements, program notes, museum archives, auto-documentation (artists documenting their own practices) or alternative media. The present paper is focused on the elaboration of the conceptual framework and a literature review. The visualization of the framework has been described in detail in another paper [21] and is available on the website associated with this review (https://isi-database.herokuapp.com/ (accessed on 9 April 2021)).

Method
We reviewed 181 full-text journal articles, proceedings papers and book chapters to determine design trends and habits regarding the conception of interactive sound installations. The present review method was derived from the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol (PRISMA-P, [22]) and is summarized in Figure 1. The corpus describes interactive sound installations, which can be described as interventions. However, the review does not evaluate those interventions, but only provides a qualitative synthesis of the documents.

Search Strategy, Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
The publications were retrieved from Elsevier's Scopus database, which covers published, peer-reviewed publications from more than 5000 publishers worldwide (https://www.else vier.com/solutions/scopus/how-scopus-works/content/content-policy-and-selection (accessed on 9 April 2021)). The database search was conducted between October and November 2020. Table 1 includes the boolean search terms and number of entries associated with each query. The search was carried out within article title, abstract and keywords sections, and led to the identification of 1054 records. Three additional records were identified through cross-referencing.

In addition, installations that require real-time participation from anyone who is not part of an audience were considered to be beyond the scope of this review and were therefore excluded. Two-hundred and seventy-four full-text documents were assessed for eligibility after a screening of titles and abstracts. A total of 181 documents were selected after full-text review for inclusion in the qualitative synthesis.

Data Extraction
Each selected full-text document describes one or more interactive sound installation. The description of each installation was manually coded into a database using a binary entry for each of the perspectives and taxa of the developed taxonomy (Section 3). Information missing from the documents was indicated as being non available (N.A.). For the bibliometric analysis, subject areas and fields were retrieved from the proceedings, book or journal in which the work was published using Scopus' "All Science Journal Classification" list (https://service.elsevi er.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/15181/supporthub/scopus/ (accessed on 9 April 2021)). The taxonomy relies on a combination of existing frameworks and new themes emerging from the analysis. It evolved to accommodate new emerging topics through an iterative process: additional taxa were created when observing features on sound installations that could not be represented by the framework. For instance, "Type of Input Device" (see Section 3) was often incremented with new features that were not in the initial framework. The resulting database is available on the repository from which the review's web application is deployed, in the form of a comma-separated-values file (https://github.com/valerianF/ISI-Databas e/blob/main/data/installationsList.csv (accessed on 9 April 2021)). The complete list of installations is available in Appendix B and on the website (https://isi-database.herokua pp.com/lists (accessed on 9 April 2021)). Trends from the review were extracted both from this website and using the programming language R [23].

Definition of a Conceptual Framework
A taxonomy, in the sense of Bailey's definition, was elaborated, both deductively from existing frameworks for musical interfaces and interactive sound installations, and inductively from observation from the corpus [24].
The taxonomy is organized hierarchically, from general to specific. The top layers or roots-the perspectives-of the taxonomy represent three global points of view for enduring interactive sound installations: artistic intention, interaction and system design. The bottom layers or leaves-the taxa-represent specific features or contextual aspects of the installations at a concrete level, such as the kind of input device, the required number of inter-actors or the type of sound materials (c.f. Table 2). Most of the taxa are not mutually exclusive. The inductive analysis first identified taxa when existing conceptual frameworks failed to cover specific features of the installations, which were later grouped, a posteriori, into more abstract themes and perspectives. However, for the sake of argument, we will instead discuss the taxonomy from the more generic to the more specific. While the three perspectives are identified separately, note that the themes and taxa that belong to each perspective are mutually inter-related and depend of each other (see Section 5.3). A short description of the taxonomy is provided below, across the three perspectives' main themes. This description is identical to what was provided in [21]. Descriptions of the main taxa used are additionally provided in Appendix A. For a full description of the taxonomy, see the web application's glossary (https://isi-database.herokuapp.com/glossary (accessed on 9 April 2021)). Artistic intention: It relates to all the considerations and contextual aspects that are taken prior to the design process. It is the most conceptual perspective and concerns top-level reflections about of the early part of the creative process before implementation. In a protagonist metaphor, this aspect would relate to the designer [18]. • Context: It provides information about the type of location or situation in which the installation was created. • Lifespan: The duration in which the installation was or is planned to remain active. It is determinant for the design process [15]. • Role of sound: Derived from Pressing's categories for sound roles in electronic media [25]. Further roles are induced from the corpus. Sound design approach: The materials and processes used for sound design and sound generation. Most of it is inspired from Landy's framework [13].
Interaction: It concerns all the parameters that characterize the mutual relation between the inter-actor and the installation [6]. This perspective is associated with the reflections between the foremost intentions and the ultimate technical implementation and would relate to the inter-actor [18].
• Inter-actor: The number of people involved simultaneously in the musical interaction [6]. • Interaction type: Type of control is another name for it. It refers to the specific nature of the relation between the inter-actor and the installation [19]. • Feedback type: It refers to the output modalities, also called feedback modalities [6]. • Input and output degrees of freedom: It refers to the number of input and output modalities available to the user or visitor (two actual themes). It does not represent the number of input and output controls as in Birnbaum et al.'s dimension space [6]. • Musical control: It refers to the level of control available to the user [6,26].

System design:
It is about the practical realization of the installation [5], from its components to its diffusion parameters. It emphasizes the practical realization of initial intentions and of interaction design, and relates to the system [18].
• Spatialization: It refers to the number of sound sources used, their spatial disposition and their diffusion and control parameters that are used to create (or not) a spatialized musical experience for visitors [13,27]. • Sound generation: It concerns the nature of the installation's sound-emitting device(s) [14]. • Type of input device: It describes the kind of device(s) that provides to the installation the data and control signals that are processed as part of the interaction [4,5]. This theme reflects the technical details extracted from the documentation. As such, some taxa consist in types of sensors (using the classification presented in [28]), while others correspond to devices containing multiple sensors.

Visualization of the Framework
A web application (https://isi-database.herokuapp.com/ (accessed on 9 April 2021)) was developed as part of the present review, in order to provide an efficient visualization tool to navigate within the corpus' installation across the taxonomy. The application was developed in Python (source code: https://github.com/valerianF/ISI-Database (accessed on 9 April 2021)), and is powered by Dash, an open-source library developed by Plotly (https://dash.plotly.com/introduction (accessed on 9 April 2021)) and designed for web analytics. The application was built upon a database that was elaborated from the taxonomy in an iterative process where taxa were both deduced from literature and induced when reviewing the corpus. Within the database, installations from the corpus are indicated as either belonging or not to each taxon with a binary entry when the information is available. A complete description of the web application is presented in [21].
The application includes four interactive sunburst charts, representing the subject areas and fields from the corpus and each of the three perspectives (Figures 2 and 3). They allow for dynamic navigation through the taxonomy from global themes to specific taxa by reproducing the taxonomy's hierarchy. The size and shade of each portion of the charts represent the number of corresponding installations for a taxon, and the number of times the particular code was used for a theme of perspective. Since one installation may give rise to multiple codes among a given theme, only the last layer provides the number of installations corresponding to a taxon. When clicking on a taxon, a table containing information about the corresponding sound installations and their associated documentation automatically appears below the chart. Additional features include a drop-down list of all taxa that allows one to filter the database via multiple categories.

Results
This section focuses on the results in terms of bibliometrics and global design trends identified throughout the corpus, first for each of the three perspectives and then across perspectives. Each taxon presented in the results is defined in Appendix A. For further evaluation, we invite the reader to try the interactive web application to navigate the database (https://isi-database.herokuapp.com/ (accessed on 9 April 2021)).

Bibliometrics
The 181 documents in the review were published in 78 different publications. They predominantly consist of proceedings papers (137 articles in 58 proceedings series), but also in journal articles (42 articles in 18 journals) and two book chapters (from two books). According to the present corpus, when considering 5-year increments, academic, peerreviewed documentation of interactive sound installations likely gained in popularity in the early 2000s until stabilizing at around 50 publications in 2006 (cf. Figure 4). A total of 60 research fields are represented, belonging to fourteen subject areas. They highlight the interest for interactive sound installations in various subject areas across disciplinary fields, from computer science to arts and humanities. Despite this variety, most publications fell under the broad umbrella of computer science (roughly 85% of the total number of documents; c.f. Figure 2a). In fact, thirteen scientific fields cover more than ten documents each (c.f. Figure 5), nine of which are related to computer science, while 27 fields are represented by a single document.  Figure 6a (overlaps between taxa are not displayed in Figure 6a)). More specifically, out of 93 exhibition totals, 81 were ephemeral, 10 were semi-permanent and 2 were permanent. Considering the 83 prototypes, again 81 were ephemeral; 1 was semi-permanent; and it was not possible to retrieve information about lifespan for one installation. However, more than half of the installations situated in outdoor public spaces had a long-term lifespan (ephemeral: N = 15; semi-permanent: N = 5; permanent: N = 12).
Regarding sound design, a plurality of materials and processes can be observed across all installations. As can be seen in Figure 6b Concerning the role of sound, the majority of installations that generates sound with expressive or environmental purposes (N = 180, c.f. Figure 2b), yet the sound in a few installations plays an informational role (N = 13), a didactic role (N = 13), or a therapeutic role (N = 5). Most installations are designed for all audiences (N = 104) or are intended for an adult audience (N = 79), while a few are specifically designed for children (N = 11).

Interaction
Concerning interaction, we focus on the interaction type, the input and output modalities, the number of inter-actors and the musical control.
There is a wide variety of interaction types, yet only three were shared by more than 15 installations (c.f. Figure 7a): embodied interaction is the most common (N = 94), followed by visitors' motion (N = 74) and visitors' sounds (N = 35). Among all installations, eleven are purely adaptive-i.e., they do not interact with users but rather react to external parameters such as meteorological information.
Concerning the input and output modalities, the feedback types were mostly auditory (N = 186; c.f. Figure 3a) or visual (N = 108). A few installations also included haptic feedback (N = 21), and three installations featured heat, taste and smell feedback. The majority of installations required a single modality as input, typically through the use of devices and/or a visitor's motion (one: N = 161; two: N = 26; three or more: N = 4); most installations output one or two sensory modalities, typically auditory feedback for the former, and audio-visual feedback from the latter (one: N = 82; two: N = 101; three or more: N = 9). The most common combinations consisted of one input/two outputs (N = 81) and one input/one output (N = 73), as shown in Figure 7b.
Most interactive installations were designed for one or a few inter-actors (one: N = 98; two to ten: N = 72), but some were designed for more than 10 (N = 39) or did not specify a number (countless: N = 6). Finally, the majority of installations provided musical control in the form of a process (N = 157), typically by triggering sound playback through interaction. Overall, most of the installations provided relatively complex musical information from a few parameters (mostly from a single input modality; c.f. Figure 7b). However, some installations provided timbral (N = 14) and note-level (N = 13) musical control (c.f. Figure 3a).

System Design
Regarding system design, we emphasize the types of input devices; the number of sound sources and the spatialization control; and the sound generation.
There is a great diversity of input device types used across the corpus' installations: 30 different kinds of input device were identified, among which 11 were used in only one installation. The most common types of input devices were image sensors (N = 68; 40 cameras and 28 motion sensing devices), microphones (N = 53), controllers (N = 27, including 15 touch-sensitive devices) and detectors (N = 24, including 18 proximity sensors), as shown in Figure 8a.
Documentation from the corpus notably lacked detail about sound spatialization, and it was not possible to retrieve information about the number of sound sources for 47 installations. Still, we can observe from the remaining installations that the use of more than three sound sources is the most common approach (N = 80, Figures 3b and 8b

Salient Trends across Perspectives
Multiple relations can be found across perspectives. The results presented highlight notable relationships. Figure 9a shows the relationship between context and the number of inter-actors. Installations from the corpus most often require a single actor (N = 98) in the contexts of exhibition, prototypes and indoor public spaces. However, the majority of outdoor sound installations require more than one actor, and most of the installations that are purely adaptive (c.f. Figure 7a) are located outdoors. Otherwise, as shown in Figure 9b, static positioning of the visitors is most often required for installations with one or two sound sources, while the installations with multiple sources or that use headphones more often require the visitor(s) to move freely within the installation.  Figure 8b). However, the type of spatialization tends to be related to the type of interaction, as installations that react to visitors' motion use AS more often (N = 24) than CB diffusion (N = 19). Conversely, CB diffusion is favored upon AS for almost all other interaction types (for instance: embodied-CB: N = 32, AS: N = 18; visitor's sounds-CB: N = 15; AS: N = 10). Given that automated spatialization is frequently used with multiple sound sources (c.f. Figure 8b)-this result is consistent with the fact that sound installations that react to visitors' motion more often use multiple sources compared to sound installations that rely on other interaction types (especially embodied interaction type), which more frequently use one or two sound sources or headphones, and are usually more limited in space (c.f. Figure 10a).
Finally, the relationship between context and type of input device is worth highlighting (c.f. Figure 10b): installations designed for exhibitions, as prototypes or for indoor public spaces, share similar trends concerning the type of input device used for interaction, namely, image sensors, microphones and controllers. On the other hand, installations designed for outdoor public spaces seem to favor other types of input devices apart from microphones, such as server-clients and various miscellaneous input devices, such as environmental sensors.

Discussion
In this section, we first discuss the main outcomes from the review, then highlight the main contributions and the limitations and future directions of this work.

Review Outcomes
This systematic review provided new insights on the academic documentation of interactive sound installations. First and foremost, the majority of the reviewed publications fall under the area of physical sciences, and especially under the subject area of computer science. As such, academic documentation regarding the design of interactive sound installations seems to be more abundant in the area of physical sciences than in the arts and humanities. This trend could partially explain the high number of prototypes in the corpus (https://www.lemonde.fr/blog/binaire/tag/marcelo-m-wanderley/ (accessed on 9 April 2021)). Furthermore, this review encountered a wide variety of publications (78 for 181 documents), covering various fields (60 total), showing that the design of interactive sound installations is of interest to various actors in the scientific scene. This variety also reflects differing documentation processes. For instance, the extent to which technical details are provided greatly varies across publications. While some may be dedicated to accurately describing system design details in order to promote technological development [29], others may focus on social sciences [30], society [31] or even participatory processes [32]. This diversity may sometimes lead to literature gaps concerning the documentation of sound installations. For instance, 47 documents did not provide any information on the number of sound sources used or on their position in space. Since the proposed taxonomy is grounded in the analysis of this corpus, it also reflects these divergences regarding documentation. As an illustration, input devices are either categorized under generic systems (e.g., motion sensing devices) or as individual sensors (e.g., capacitance sensors). Several papers (N = 28) provide additional follow-up studies, evaluating the corresponding installations in terms of the experience of the visitor (e.g., [33,34]), which is beyond the scope of this paper. Ultimately, most of the installations reviewed were conceived between 2006 and 2020 (c.f. Figure 4). This is in line with the increasing diversification of new interfaces for musical expression over the last decades [1].
Overall, the interactive sound installations reviewed are mainly designed for exhibitions and/or as prototypes (c.f. Figure 6a). The sparsity of sound installations designed for indoor and outdoor public spaces could be partially explained by logistic constraints inherent to their design and deployment-for instance, adding sound to existing public spaces requires installations to be non-disruptive and coherent with their surrounding environments [14,35]. Outdoor sound installations are also likely to be encountered by the most diverse audience, implying the need for inclusive content [36]. Additionally, installations in outdoor public spaces are often designed for long-term deployment (c.f. Figure 6a), which brings in additional constraints in terms of durability and resistance to meteorological conditions (rain, heat, humidity, etc.). Designing installations for exhibitions or as prototypes is less restrictive regarding any of those aspects.
Regarding interaction, most of the installations reviewed provide one or two sensory modalities as output, typically through auditory and visual feedback (c.f. Figure 7b), while requiring a single modality as input, typically through embedded tools, motion or sound (c.f. Figure 7a). Such trends could be compared to traditional and digital musical instruments [6], and put in relation to the high number of publications related to the field of computer graphics (c.f. Figure 5). Overall, the most common musical controls for interactive sound installations consist of processes such as sound playback triggering and installations often provide complex sensory information from a few input parameters. This trend could be explained by the fact that the overall user experience may be predominant over the generation of music itself in collaborative musical interfaces [17].
Concerning system design, the majority of installations use multiple sound sources, while image sensors and microphones are the most frequent input devices. The design of interactive sound installations is often an iterative process going back-and-forth between sound design, interaction design and technical implementation [9,20]. This is supported by the present review, in which system design parameters seem intrinsically related to interaction and artistic intention (e.g., see Figures 9b and 10a,b).
Beyond those trends, we observe a diversity of approaches within and across each of the three perspectives in the taxonomy. See, for instance, the multitude of sound design approaches (c.f. Figure 6b), interaction types (c.f. Figure 7a) and types of input devices (c.f. Figure 8a). This diversity is well illustrated by the ways in which outdoor installations are designed, which are often quite different from the trends found in other contexts. Hence, outdoor sound installations tend to last longer (c.f. Figure 6a), to have more inter-actors (c.f. Figure 9a) and to make use of a greater variety of input devices (c.f. Figure 10b) than the other installations.

Contributions
The proposed taxonomy provides a comprehensive conceptual framework for evaluating interactive sound installations across various design features. This framework is intended to help sound artists, designers and researchers and stimulate reflections around interactive sound installations. Despite lacking in detail compared to existing taxonomies concerning input devices [37], gestural control [38] and sensor characterization [28], it has a broader scope as it combines perspectives from sound art, human-computer interactions and engineering. While this taxonomy would be impossible to navigate in the form of a table (up to four hierarchical layers across 111 taxa), the dynamic data visualization developed within the review (https://isi-database.herokuapp.com/ (accessed on 9 April 2021)) provides an efficient and intuitive visualization to navigate through the corpus' various sound installations across the taxonomy, allowing users to easily identify trends and retrieve corresponding documentation. Thus, the proposed taxonomy should prove useful for sound artists, designers and researchers interested in interactive sound installations.
The present systematic review allowed the identification of major trends regarding the design of interactive sound installations, leading to two key observations: the majority of interactive sound installations share similar design and documentation features, and there are a great variety of practices regarding the installations that do not fall within those trends. In addition, the review highlighted literature gaps, such as the frequent lack of documentation regarding spatialization.

Limitations
Multiple aspects that could be important to characterize installations are not included in the taxonomy, such as mapping and software parameters, technical details about sound production and user experience assessments [5,9,13,26,39]. Additionally, the dynamic visualization does not reflect the various inter-relations between perspectives, making difficult the identification of trends such as those presented in Section 5.3. Despite being systematic, the present review also has several limitations. The queries used and shown in Table 1 and the Scopus database may not cover all academic publications. Furthermore, given the majority of engineering-oriented publications (see Figures 2a and 5), humanistic epistemologies may be underrepresented in the taxonomy. Beyond that, creators who present their work in the form of a peer-reviewed publications that would be integrated in the review are typically academics or are directly tied to them. Hence, the present work may not represent practices outside of the academic realm, where artistic works might be represented in artists' statements for gallery installations, program notes for performances, thorough auto-documentation or through alternative media. Extending the review to these other types of documentation would likely provide more engagement with elements such as aesthetics, musical identity and relations with technology.

Further Directions
Further works include the improvement of the taxonomy's coverage, by integrating other technical details such as mapping parameters [5,39]. The corpus itself could gain in coverage by integrating installations from other types of documentation, such as websites, museum databases and press. Such integration would allow the comparison of observed trends with features of corpora obtained from differing forms of documentation.
The dynamic visualization could be further improved by adding additional features. Potential directions for its improvement include a way to visualize installations across the taxonomy (for instance, within a dimensional space [6]), or their geographic spread. Additional media such as video or audio excerpts could also be provided. Ultimately, the application could be transformed into a collaborative database by allowing users to add their own installations. Such modifications could allow the identification of additional creations, and consequently help to better document the design and creation processes of interactive sound installations, while providing more visibility to the field as a collaborative project.
In the near future, we plan to to extend the visualization of the framework on the associated web application using a network visualization displaying installations as nodes (see, for instance, https://www.data-to-viz.com/graph/network.html (accessed on 9 April 2021)). While the present application (https://isi-database.herokuapp.com/ (accessed on 9 April 2021)) allows the identification of trends across the framework, a network visualization could be used to explore relationships between installations, and to browse through similar installations in the database based on a given set of features.

Conclusions
The goal of this systematic review was to better understand creation features and design trends of interactive sound installations, first by elaborating a conceptual framework and an associated dynamic visualization tool; then by analyzing trends with that framework.
The present work provided a database for interactive sound installations, a conceptual framework and an associated visualization tool that ultimately led to an insightful overview of trends and practices regarding the design of interactive sound installations. While several notable trends were observed, the documentation, context and design of interactive sound installations are multifaceted and testify to a vast repertory of practices and purposes.
The taxonomy provided in this work provides a conceptual framework to situate interactive sound installations over a wider scope than existing frameworks. Combining perspectives from sound art, human-computer interaction and engineering allows one to better understand the multidisciplinary nature of interactive sound installations. The associated web application (https://isi-database.herokuapp.com/ (accessed on 9 April 2021)) should allow a wide audience to access and navigate along the database within this framework, including sound artists, designers and researchers.
This systematic review provided an overview of trends regarding design features and academic documentation of interactive sound installations, and a glimpse of the great diversity that lies behind the conception and designers of such installations. While similar documentation and design features have been observed over the present corpus, combining a total of 195 interactive sound installations, a multiplicity of approaches, areas and purposes were observed behind notable trends that account for the interest in interactive sound installations in various fields, scenes and contexts.

In other words, the installation can generate sounds autonomously. 77 • Noise Cancellation-Specific use of noise cancellation technology. 92 -Site's Acoustics Involved-Acoustic properties of the space surrounding the installation are explicitly exploited. 9

INTERACTION Inter-Actors
-One-One user is required for the interaction. 22 -Few-Between two and ten people can simultaneously interact with the installation. 17 -Many-More than ten people can simultaneously interact with the installation. 100 -Countless-Installations in which the number of people that can interact with the installation is countless: it is very difficult if not impossible to determine the exact number of inter-actors. 147 -None-The installation does not require a user but rather adapts its content with inputs from other kinds of systems. Typically, the installation is adaptive and reacts to its surrounding environment. 82

Interaction Type
-User Interaction-The installation interacts with visitor(s). • Embodied-Possesses a physical embodiment or tangible interface for interaction, from [19,42]. 6 • Visitor's Motion-The input for interaction is the visitor's or part of its body's motion. 14 • Visitor's Sounds-The input for interaction are the sounds emitted or that arise from the visitor. 35 -Adaptive-The installation does not interact with users but reacts to its surrounding environment.
• Nature and Environment-The installation queries information from the natural realm, for instance through a form of biomimetics or through meteorological information. 94

Feedback Type
-Auditory-Emission of sound.

Musical Control
-Timbral-The visitor controls continuous timbral parameters such as the amount of noise or spectral properties, from [6]. 31 -Note-Level-The visitor controls discrete musical events such as musical notes or rythmic patterns, from [6]. 67 -Process-The visitor controls musical processes such as loops or complex patterns playback, from [6]. 14

SYSTEM DESIGN Spatialization
-Number of Sources-Number of sound-emitting sources belonging to the installation, regardless of their associated sound generation technique. Multiple sources is accounted when the installation takes use of three or more sources.

•
One Sound Source-77 • Two Sound Sources-83 • Multiple Sources-Three or more sound sources. 14 -Diffusion Orientation-Concerns the number of direction(s) to which the sound is diffused by the installation, and their evolution through time. • Directive-Relates for instance on parametric loudspeakers and beamforming. More rarely, can be associated with installations that take use of non-directive sources if they are meant to radiate in a specific area covered by the installations without affecting the others. 50 • Non-Directive-Sound source(s) is/are non-directive and are not intended to radiate in a specific area covered by the installation without affecting the others. 31 -Headphones-The visitor(s) use stereo headphones as a sonic interface with the installation. 20 -Control-Refers to the nature of the playback algorithm or diffusion method across sound sources [13].
• Automated Spatialization-Refers to automated spatialization systems, in which some or all aspects of the way sonic material is presented spatially are automated, from [13]. 59 • Channel-based-Refers to simple track-based playback across sources. In other words, each sound source plays the same or different soundtracks or loops. 100

Sound Generation
-Speakers-Speakers are here defined as systems containing both an electro-acoustic transducer and the enclosure to which they are embedded into, if there is one. 9 -Musical Instrument-Various definitions are provided in the literature for what is, or is not, a musical instrument. It is proposed here to define musical instruments as standalone tools that can be used alone and by a single user to generate sound. They can consist in traditional acoustic instruments but also of digital musical instruments [26,43]. 77 -Other Sound Sources-Sources that are neither speakers nor musical instruments. They are segmented along three generations techniques inspired from Lacey's three approaches for transforming sound environments [14].
• Electronic-Electro-acoustic transducers that are not embedded into a speaker but rather inside an obect that has or used to have a different or additional purpose (typically an old TV or radio). 188 • Resonant-Sources that rely on resonant properties of specific materials such as tubes or pipes. As in Lacey's framework, resonances from the room in which is located the installation are not considered in this theme [14]. 62 • Mechanical-Sources that emit sound through contact of different materials such as friction, while not explicitly relying on acoustic resonances. 60

Type of Input Device
