Creating almost exclusively with this nearly obsolete material, the artist has learned to manipulate them into [large-scale works of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation) that will catch people's eyes immediately. Currently on display at Eastfield College in Mesquite, Texas, Event Horizon by Leticia Bajuyo, who is also an Associate Professor of Art at Hanover College, is comprised of [glimmering sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabine-marcelis-1) that take on the form of vortexes. Interestingly, they don't just end abruptly. Instead, the sculptures extend into long worm holes with the help of fishing lines, cable ties and wood. According to My Modern Met, "Each piece reveals a specific message pertaining to the medium, technology and society." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Obsolete Material Art:** Opportunity for artists to explore new ways of using outdated materials in large-scale works of art. - **Interactive Sculptures:** Potential to create immersive art experiences with sculptures that extend into worm holes and engage viewers. - **Medium, Technology, and Society:** Exploration of the relationship between art, technology, and society through specific messages conveyed in sculptures. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Artists can disrupt traditional art forms and create innovative pieces using obsolete materials and interactive elements. - **Event and Exhibition:** Event organizers can enhance visitor experiences by incorporating interactive sculptures and immersive art installations. - **Technology and Media:** Opportunity to explore the impact of technology on society through art installations that comment on the medium and technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Swirled Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tunnel-vision-installation.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Cosmic Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hole-vase.md) - [Site Specific Mixed-Media Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamsphere.md) - [Interactive Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helix.md) - [Intricate Site-Specific Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time.md) - [Circular Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shen-sculpture.md)
