Now, designer Dominic Wilcox has put together an installation that is designed to offer this same experience to your dog. Wilcox's 'Play More' exhibition in London consists of a variety of interactive installations for your dog to engage with. Indeed this place could be described as canine heaven, with installations ranging from dancing water jets for dogs to run around and splash with to a massive fan that blows a scent that's akin to raw meat. This interactive installation is ultimately a great example of humans creating art to provoke reactions from their non-human companions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive Installations for Dogs:** Opportunity to create more interactive art installations specifically designed for dogs. - **Multisensory Experiences for Pets:** Opportunity to develop more installations that engage pets' multiple senses simultaneously. - **Art for Non-human Companions:** Opportunity to explore the relationship between humans and animals through artistic experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can create unique installations that cater to pets and their owners. - **Pet Products:** Pet product manufacturers can develop interactive toys and installations that offer multisensory enjoyment for pets. - **Experiential Marketing:** Event organizers and marketers can incorporate interactive pet installations in their campaigns to create memorable experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dog-Focused Retail Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-love-you-like-a-dog.md) - [Connected Dog Entertainment Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dogsplay-entertainment-system.md) - [Canine Sniffing Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sniff-n-seek.md) - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md) - [Immersive Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-public-art-installation.md) - [Interactive Modular Pet Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fetch-house.md) - [Connective Canine Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-park-app.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Pop-Up Dog Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unleashed-dog-park.md)
