How is performance art different from visual art?

Performance art is a type of visual art that is performed live by the artist or other performers. It often involves audience participation and can be interactive. Performance art is often ephemeral and can take many forms, such as dance, theatre, music, and spoken word. Visual art, on the other hand, is a form of art that is primarily visual in nature, such as painting, sculpture, photography, and printmaking. Visual art is usually static and can be experienced without the presence of the artist.
