It is vibrant, colorful and so detailed, you'll have a hard time believing it's flat. The chalk art was created by Leon Keer and Remko van Schaik. Keer is known for his mind-boggling designs, so it's not surprising that he's part of this project. The piece was created at the [EPFL](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/High-durability-printable-materials) campus in Lausanne, Switzerland. It was 150 square meters and took six days to complete. It is on display until April 10th. It's ironic that a 2D game inspired an optical illusion 3D masterpiece. Nevertheless, it makes me want to go play the game. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **3D Street Art:** The trend of 3D street art provides opportunities for artists to create captivating and interactive murals for public spaces. - **Retro Video Games:** The resurgence of retro video games inspires artists to create unique and nostalgic art pieces with innovative designs. - **Optical Illusions:** The trend of creating optical illusions using street art techniques challenges artists to think outside of the box and push the boundaries of traditional art forms. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can capitalize on the growing demand for unique and interactive public art installations, such as 3D street art. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can leverage the popularity of retro video games by partnering with artists and designers to create immersive experiences for fans. - **Advertising and Marketing:** The advertising and marketing industry can utilize the captivating nature of optical illusions to create attention-grabbing campaigns and promotions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Video Game-Themed Pixel Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixel-art-collection.md) - [Interdimensional Gaming Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alienware-x-twitch.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Nostalgic 3D-Printed Arcade Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stellar-works.md) - [Retro Gaming Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-invaders-my-play-watch.md) - [Artwork-Inspired Strategy Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mondrian-color-in-motion.md) - [Space-Centric Metaverse Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-horizons.md) - [Meta Mobile Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-switch-small-invader.md)
