This platitude is often touted by many artists — great or not. However,
Good artists borrow; great artists steal. While countless artists have parroted this platitude for decades in reference to their creative output, I identify more with Ursula Le Guin's lesser known remarks:
“We writers all stand on each other’s shoulders, we all use each other’s ideas and skills and plots and secrets. Literature is a communal enterprise.”

Technology is also playing a big role in immersive video installations, but I find myself fighting against that current, favoring art experiences that nurture the senses rather than overstimulate them.

In an interview for Art Papers with Wendy Jacob, who creates interactive installations in collaboration with and for people with disabilities and sensory impairments, she says that “although we tend to rely primarily on vision and sound for information, there is something elemental and direct—maybe even more truthful—about touch, smell and taste.”
phrasing and block quoting:
In an interview for Art Papers, installation artist Wendy Jacob claims that “although we tend to rely primarily on vision and sound for information, there is something elemental and direct—maybe even more truthful—about touch, smell and taste.” Like Jacob, who prioritizes tactility in the interactive installations she creates in collaboration with and for people with disabilities and sensory impairments, I, too, have an interest in bringing tactile senses into the installation environment.

Rosenthal
combine with previous paragraph:
In Understanding Installation Art, Mark Rosenthal defines the art installation as “a dedicated space in which one artistic vision or aura is at work, setting forth various kinds of phenomena." He then adds a taxonomy for categorizing installations to his definition, but numerous divergent interpretations suggest that the fluidity of installation art transcends Rosenthal's attempts at categorization.

take-aways:
Essentially, you argue in favor of Meisner and look less favorably on Strasburg and Method acting. I wonder if a tighter approach might have yielded more effective results. Much of this piece reads like notes you might have taken in advanced of writing rather than a finished piece. It's possible to imagine a version of this essay that bypasses much of the opening section and gets more quickly to the point: of the two most well-known schools of acting, you favor Meisner or Strasburg.
