# Papercraft Space Continuums The CHROMAtex.me Installation is Creatively Unique By Armida Ascano | Published 2010-10-16 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chromatex-me References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/CHROMAtex_me/747447) & [softlabnyc](http://www.softlabnyc.com/) The CHROMAtex.me installation is an astounding piece of [trippy art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation) made even more intense by the fact that it is crafted out of office supplies. The enormous [UFO-inspired installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-transformation-lamp) is made entirely of [high-gloss photo paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-for-papirkunst) and binder clips. CHROMAtex.me is the brainchild of SOFTlab designs, a collective of self-professed geeks whose wild imaginations have led them to design. CHROMAtex.me can be seen at the Bridgegallery in the Lower East Side of New York City. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Office Supply Art:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore using unconventional materials in their work. - **Geek Art:** Potential to cater to a niche market interested in science fiction and fantasy-inspired art. - **Trippy Design:** Chance to create visually stunning and psychedelic installations that awe viewers. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Can incorporate office supplies into art-making and target science fiction fans. - **Event Planning and Marketing:** Can create unique and eye-catching installations to attract attendees and promote brands. - **Office Supplies Manufacturing:** Can showcase new and innovative ways to use their products beyond their traditional purpose. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Billowing Modular Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curly-cube.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Office-Themed Metallic Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankie-shop.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Nature-Inspired Urban Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kriskadecor-1.md) - [Textured Cast Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scad.md) - [Biomaterial Color-Changing Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensibiom-2.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Tubed Immersive Organ-Like Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organlike-installation.md)
