In this example, Margret Eicher has revamped the art of Gobelins Tapestry which has been traditionally hand-embroidered and sewed by [skilled craftsmen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-knitting-machine1)/craftswomen. Using religion and pop culture iconography as sources of inspirations, Eicher's tapestries, however, are refined industrial products created by a computer. When this tradition started hundreds of years ago, Gobelins tapestry craftmen/craftwomen used religious art and famous paintings as sources for inspiration. This is beautiful stuff. Is there anything else we can automate? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Computer-generated Art:** The use of computers to create art, disrupting traditional art forms. - **Revamped Tapestry Craft:** Applying technology to transform traditional hand-embroidered tapestry into refined industrial products. - **Automation in Art Creation:** Exploring opportunities to automate various aspects of art creation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Opportunities to integrate technology in the art and design industry, creating new possibilities and disruptions. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Integrating computer-generated designs in textile manufacturing, revolutionizing the traditional craft of tapestry. - **Creative Technology:** The intersection of creativity and technology, finding innovative ways to automate and enhance art creation processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Curated Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-trending.md) - [Creativity-Promoting AI Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imaginator-ai-creator.md) - [AI-Generated Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaudiinspired.md) - [AI-Driven Ceramic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texttoclay.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [AI-Generated Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/generative-ai-art.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Technology Connection Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codecraftchaos.md) - [Handwoven Colorful Tapestries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versus-edition-one.md)
