# Chainlink Compositions Create Neon Messages with Fence Typo by Kim Dong Hyun By Jessica Marcel | Published 2009-11-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fence-typo References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/archives/012329.php) & [donghyunkim](http://www.donghyunkim.com/) Chainlink fences are everywhere, and their ubiquity is what drove Kim Dong Hyun to create Fence Typo. If you can look at a chainlink fence and see a canvas (instead of a wire monstrosity) then the [urban landscape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics) isn't so bad. Fence Typo is made of small plastic pieces, some colored and some [neon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-and-unity), that can be attached to [chainlink fences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barred-collection) to create words and designs. Take a look at the gallery for some examples. **Implications** - While fences are often a cold and uninviting means of putting up boundaries for either protection or landscaping, these fences are an opportunity for artistic expression, serving as a unique canvas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Artistic Chainlink Fences:** Take advantage of the ubiquity of chainlink fences as an opportunity for artistic expression. - **Fence Typo:** A new product that uses small plastic pieces to add words and designs to chainlink fences. - **Neon Messages:** Add some color to chainlink fences with neon pieces that can create vibrant messages. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** The art world can explore the possibilities of using chainlink fences as unconventional canvases. - **Landscaping and Architecture:** Architects and landscapers can incorporate fence art as part of their design work. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Advertising agencies can use Fence Typo to create memorable outdoor campaigns using chainlink fences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Inspired Urban Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kriskadecor-1.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Dynamic Public Artwork Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/born-to-be-wild-1.md) - [Community-Inspired Colorful Substations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-cross-town.md) - [Interactive Typo Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loveegolov.md) - [Urban Text Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-love-joy.md) - [Self-Standing Structural Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feel-free.md) - [Neon Illustation-Donned Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-world-exhibition-1.md) - [Connected Chain Link Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linka-lasso.md)
