I like the idea of minimalism as the ideal form/reduced to the essential elements. The cubic shapes are no-nonsense and pure.
In minimalism, the artist becomes disconnected from the work once it's complete. The connection is severed and is then given to the viewer.
Sol Lewitt said "When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes the machine that makes the art." By following a set of instructions, the installation becomes another form of creative disconnect.
This correlates with the training and expectation of emotional reactions to art.
