Brown was commissioned to create the digital flowers by the [University of Dundee Museum Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simulated-living-cells) for the D'Arcy Thompson Zoology Museum. The flowers seem incredibly-life like, but the textures, shapes and colors that they are created from were inspired by the museum's exhibits. Previously, Brown collaborated with Mulberry for a Valntine's Day campaign that allowed people to send [digital bouquets of flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-bouquet-generator) to loved ones. Since 2011, the flowers have become all the more life-like and truly like objects that you could pick right out of your screen. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Computer-generated Organic Forms:** Opportunity for digital artists and designers to explore the creation of fascinating digital landscapes using organic shapes and forms. - **Textured Digital Design:** Opportunity for digital designers and artists to use texture mapping techniques to create more realistic and interactive digital images. - **Virtual Reality Landscapes:** Opportunity for developers to create immersive VR experiences with digital landscapes made up of intricate and detailed forms and shapes. ### Where This Applies - **Digital Art and Design:** Opportunity for digital art and design industry professionals to explore the creation of realistic digital objects and landscapes using code. - **Museum Exhibitions:** Opportunity for museums to incorporate digital art exhibits featuring computer-generated organic forms for visitors to explore and experience. - **Virtual Reality Development:** Opportunity for virtual reality developers to create immersive experiences featuring intricate and detailed digital landscapes made up of organic forms and shapes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Stone Floral Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lithic-bloom.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Flower-Inspired Vibrant Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espressionismo-floreale.md) - [Algorithmic Ceramic Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texture-ware.md) - [3D-Printed Colorful Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1.md) - [Floral-Inspired Sculptural Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-power.md) - [Brown Orchid Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brown-flowers-by-ds-durga.md) - [Nature-Inspired 3D-Printed Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drag-and-drop.md)
