My understanding of Chapter 3 is that darkness is completely engulfing. As humans, we rarely experience complete and total darkness due to our access to lights whether it be a night light in our room, street lamps, flash lights etc. In some instances, are installation may be the only time we experience complete darkness. It disorients the viewer and we lose our concept of space and placement. That is why it can be an effective form for installation art.
Mirrors and reflective surfaces also can disrupt an environment. It can also lead to loss of space and placement. Sound is also another example of immersive environment because sound can lead our minds to think we are somewhere than where actually are. Our sense dictate much of how we feel in our environment.
