# Avian Formation Collages The Flying Formation Collages Were Put Together From Googled Images By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-09-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-formations References: [featureshoot](http://www.featureshoot.com/2014/08/collages-of-birds-in-unbelievable-formations/) & [instagram](http://instagram.com/shauniqua) Flying Formation is a breathtaking collection of photo collages that depict birds flying in spectacular formations. The collage was put together by Seattle artist Shaun Kardinal, who pieced it together using images obtained through Google searches and social media feeds. The images were presented digitally and displayed on the artist's [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world) page rather than being sold. Kardinal put together the Flying Formation collages in a bar using his [Macbook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yohann). Instagram filters and photo editing software was used to polish the pieces. The collage images were then shared on his Instagram online over the course of two hours. To promote the series, Kardinal created a simple [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-verified) event asking people to check it out but without posting any information or preview images of the series. This modus operandi helped the artist feel more connected to his viewers and social media followers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 2% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Photo Collage Art:** Artists can explore creating unique and visually striking collages using digital images from various sources. - **Social Media Art Promotion:** Promoting artwork through social media platforms can help artists connect and engage with a wider audience. - **Unconventional Art Exhibition:** Artists can find innovative ways to display their artwork, such as online exhibitions or social media showcases. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Digital Art:** The digital art industry can embrace the use of digital images and techniques to push the boundaries of traditional art forms. - **Social Media:** Social media platforms can provide opportunities for artists to promote their work and interact with art enthusiasts. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can explore unique exhibition concepts that offer unconventional and engaging experiences for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modernism Birdhouse Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwellings-project.md) - [Vibrant Interactive Digital Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-digital-artwork.md) - [Vibrant Bird-Inspired Artful Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macar-parrot.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Collage-Creating Mobile Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shuffles.md) - [Intricate Site-Specific Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md)
