# Divine 3D-Printed Lamps '#God' is a Bell-Shaped Lamp That Lights Up with Twitter Mentions By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-04-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printed-lamps References: [3ders.org](http://www.3ders.org/articles/20160405-this-3d-printed-bell-illuminates-whenever-god-is-mentioned-on-twitter.html) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/35562451/God-Interactive-Installation) The latest project from New York-based artist Diego Zaks is a [3D-printed lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/souffl-lamp) that's named '#God.' The piece consists of two pieces, including a [bell-shaped lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design), which lights up whenever #God is mentioned on [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-trending) and a panel, which displays the corresponding social media messages on a screen. Zaks says: "The idea is to visualize the contrast between the sanctity and historical representation of the word 'God' and the way we are exposed to it on a daily basis in social channels and its new associations." Alongside genuine messages of worship, #God appears on social media about every two seconds, alongside everything from political criticisms to reactions to hilarious branding stunts. Originally, Zaks raised money for this idea through a GoFundMe campaign and it has since been displayed at the 'Conceived Without Sin' show in NYC. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Social Media-driven Art:** Creating art that is influenced by social media interactions and mentions, opening up new opportunities for engagement and interaction. - **Visualizing Contrasts:** Using visual representations to highlight the differences between traditional concepts and their modern interpretations, sparking conversations and reflections. - **Crowdfunded Art Projects:** Harnessing the power of crowdfunding platforms to raise funds for innovative art projects, allowing artists to bring their ideas to life. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore new ways to incorporate social media interactions and create interactive and thought-provoking experiences. - **Social Media and Technology:** Social media platforms and technology companies can develop tools and features to facilitate social media-driven art projects, enhancing user engagement and creativity. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Crowdfunding platforms can tap into the growing demand for supporting innovative art projects, attracting a niche crowd of backers and empowering artists to turn their visions into reality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Mood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbyt.md) - [Spiritually Inspired Artisanal Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triris.md) - [Maze-Inspired 3D-Printed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze-lamp.md) - [Enlightenment-Inspired Ceramic Lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namaste-lamp.md) - [Sporty Wall-Mounted Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-lamp-1.md) - [Sculpted Ceramic Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mios.md) - [3D-Printed Reversed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolve-lamp.md) - [Futuristic Totemic Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-relics.md) - [Artfully Functional Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chant.md)
