# Aerial Art Giant Knitted Rabbit Spotted by Google Earth By Pearl | Published 2008-10-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerial-art-giant-knitted-rabbit-spotted-by-google-earth References: [mailonsunday](http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/news/article-1077767/Pictured-The-giant-pink-rabbit-seen-space.html) & [gelitin.net](http://www.gelitin.net/mambo/index.php) As the satellite image resolution gets better and better, expect to see more massive sculptures like the 200 foot long giant pink rabbit. This toy rabbit sculpture was knitted by Gelitin, a Viennese Art collective and placed on the slope of the Colletto Fava mountain in the Piedmont region of northern Italy - a place called Artesina in near Cuneo. What amazes is the knitting was done over five years by an army of grannies. The rabbit is constructed from waterproof material and is stuffed with straw. The sides of the bunny are 20 feet high and the designers hope hikers will try climbing up to relax on top and take in the view. It’s a view that includes the “heart, liver and intestines” spilling out its side as if the bunny had been dropped from space. The rabbit will remain there until 2025. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 79% | 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) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Satellite Imaging:** Improvements in satellite image resolution are enabling the discovery of large-scale art installations. - **Guerilla Knitting:** Art collectives are using knitting as a medium to create attention-grabbing sculptures in unexpected locations. - **Interactive Sculptures:** Designers are creating sculptures that encourage viewer participation and engagement, such as climbing or sitting on top. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Culture:** The art and culture industry can explore opportunities to showcase large-scale, interactive sculptures as tourist attractions. - **Textile and Knitting:** The textile and knitting industry can collaborate with artists to create innovative installations using knitting as a medium. - **Satellite Technology:** The satellite technology industry can leverage improved imaging capabilities to support creative projects and discover new artistic expressions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md) - [Iconic Bag-Inspired Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-birk.md) - [Historic Contemporary Sculptural Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kawsholiday.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Interactive Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-kinetic-sculptures.md) - [Monumental Air Installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape.md) - [Fairytale-Inspired Bed Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circu-mr-bunny-bed.md) - [Bow Tie-Wearing Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bow-tiewearing-sculpture.md) - [Record-Breaking Gummy Mosaics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gummy-candy-mosaic.md)
