The installation featured over 200 [business cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moo-paper-cards) displayed on a slotted form wall, so that the cards could be removed and replaced as needed. One of the most interesting aspects of the installation is that each time a card is removed and a new one is put in its place, the installation as a whole begins to change its coloring and patterns. The installation is likened to a tree that [change colors over the seasons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/age-of-wood) and eventually, loses all of its leaves and becomes bare. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Interactive Business Cards:** Developing interactive business card installations that allow for networking in a unique and engaging way. - **Color-changing Installations:** Creating installations that change color and pattern over time, allowing for a dynamic experience that keeps visitors engaged and interested. - **Sustainable Network Building:** Building sustainable networks by bringing people together from around the world and providing a platform for continued collaboration and growth. ### Who This Affects Most - **Marketing:** Incorporating interactive business card installations into marketing campaigns to create a unique and memorable experience for potential clients. - **Exhibition Design:** Developing color-changing installations for exhibitions and events that keep visitors engaged and interested throughout the event. - **Networking:** Creating sustainable networks through interactive installations that encourage collaboration and growth within industries and communities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mangrove Forest-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/once-upon-a-forest.md) - [Cutting-Edge Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xcards.md) - [Scannable NFC Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovou-smart-business-card.md) - [NFC-Enabled Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobilo-smart-business-card.md) - [Digital Card Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/businesscardgen.md) - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Nature-Connecting Design Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vert-installation.md) - [Resin Gravity Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-tree.md)
