The public display is now known for its incorporation of the largest number of individuals within a single art project, a considerable feat given the regions multicultural population. Face Britain streamed mosaic-based images of Queen Elizabeth onto the royal dwelling. An up-close look at the pictures will reveal smaller self-portraits, all of which were submitted on behalf of over 200,000 British residents. Design duo Ross Ashton and Boris Glazer orchestrated Face Britain with the help of an advanced photo-sharing system. Participants aged four to 16 were invited to submit their drawings online, and the warm response they received in turn brought Face Britain to unprecedented levels of success. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Guinness World Records:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop new record-breaking events or campaigns that engage and involve a large number of participants. - **Mosaic-based Images:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Explore new ways to create visual displays using mosaic techniques, potentially for advertising or public art projects. - **Advanced Photo-sharing System:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Build innovative platforms or technology that facilitate large-scale collaborative art projects or photo-sharing campaigns. ### Who This Affects Most - **Event Management:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop unique and engaging events that aim to break world records and involve a large number of participants. - **Digital Advertising:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Explore the use of mosaic-based images and visual displays in digital advertising campaigns to capture audience attention and engagement. - **Technology/software:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop advanced photo-sharing systems or platforms that enable collaborative art projects, potentially targeting schools or creative communities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Record-Breaking AR Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-mirror-fffaceme.md) - [Virtually Outfitted Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuptse-1996-jacket.md) - [Drone-Created Gingerbread Light Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-village-in-the-sky.md) - [Late Queen-Honoring Statues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/queen-elizabeth-ii-1.md) - [Permanent London Art Installtions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinite-accumulation.md) - [Record-Breaking Gummy Mosaics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gummy-candy-mosaic.md) - [Musical Monsoon Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooke-bond-taj-mahal-tea.md) - [Interactive Colorful Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hockney-bigger-closer.md) - [Post-Pandemic Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakwena-maciver.md)
