# Chromatically Choreographed Captures Fabian Oefner's Dancing Colors Series is Vibrantly Energetic By Meghan Young | Published 2012-06-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dancing-colors References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/fabian-oefner-dancing-colors) & [fabianoefner](http://www.fabianoefner.com/) Swiss artist and photographer Fabian Oefner is officially enamored with vibrant hues, which his Dancing Colors series solidifies. First it was his exploration with ferrofluid and water color in the [Millefiori](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/millefiori-by-fabian-oefner) series and now he endeavors (quite successfully) to turn sound waves into visual sculptures. He writes, "The idea of the [Dancing Colors] series is to build a bridge between the acoustical and the visual world." To create the Dancing Colors series, he placed colored grains of salt on a speaker covered with plastic. When the speaker begins to vibrate from the sounds it emits, the plastic vibrates and launches the salt into the air in stunningly choreographed forms for a fraction of a second. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Vibrant Visual Sculptures:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore the fusion of sound and visuals in creating dynamic and captivating artworks. - **Synesthetic Experiences:** Potential for businesses in various industries like entertainment, marketing, and interior design to create multisensory experiences that combine sound, color, and movement. - **Interactive Audiovisual Installations:** Emerging trend in the art and technology sectors where sound and visuals are combined to create immersive and interactive installations. ### Where This Applies - **Art:** Artists can leverage the use of sound and visuals to create innovative and captivating artworks. - **Design:** Designers can explore the integration of sound and visuals in creating immersive and engaging experiences. - **Technology:** Technological advancements can be made in creating interactive installations that combine sound and visuals to provide unique experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Movement-Evoking Audio Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/favle22.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [immersive artful bright installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chroma-installation.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md) - [Sculpted Rhythm Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kinetic-collection.md) - [Colour Shift Clear Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-roller.md)
