# Multimedia Drapery Installations Ron Arad's Curtain Call is Made up of 5,600 Silicon Rods By Meghan Young | Published 2011-08-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curtain-call References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/giant-360-degree-curtain-art) & [roundhouse.org.uk](http://www.roundhouse.org.uk/) If someone endeavored to explain the Curtain Call installation, rather than simply present it, it would come off as a rather strange piece of artwork. Who would want to see a piece of drapery, no matter how gigantic it is? Yet there is much more to the Curtain Call installation than its material. A multimedia wonder, projected onto its massive surface are projected films, live performances and even audience interaction. Created by artist/designer/architect Ron Arad, the Curtain Call installation is made out of 5,600 silicon rods that have been suspended from the ceiling. Since these rods are translucent, it is possible to see the projections both from inside and outside the circle. The Curtain Call installation is currently being shown at the Roundhouse in London. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Multimedia Installations:** Expanding the capabilities of traditional installations by incorporating multimedia elements. - **Silicon Rod Materials:** Exploring the use of translucent silicon rods for innovative installations and designs. - **Audience Interaction:** Incorporating audience interaction in installations for a more immersive and engaging experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** Innovating traditional art installations by adding technology and multimedia components. - **Architecture:** Exploring the use of innovative materials like translucent silicon rods in building designs and installations. - **Event Production:** Incorporating audience interaction in live performances and events for a more engaging experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Performance-Driven Public Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-wall.md) - [Billowing Modular Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curly-cube.md) - [Theatrical Curtain-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sipario.md) - [Interactive Weaved Jacquard Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dung-dkar-cloak.md) - [Tubed Immersive Organ-Like Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organlike-installation.md) - [Interactive Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-kinetic-sculptures.md) - [Hanging Portal-Like Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-installation.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Textured Cast Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scad.md)
