# Illuminated Dunetography Daan Roosegaarde Gives the Gift of Neon to the Netherlands By Brian G Randles | Published 2009-12-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illuminated-dunetography-daan-roosegaarde-gives-neon-to-the-netherlands References: [plusmood](http://plusmood.com/2009/12/dune-4-2-daan-roosegaarde/) Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has completed a masterpiece of [artistic interaction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble). The Dune 4.2 installation is located in Rotterdam, Netherlands and it is an “e-landscape project designed to interact with the behavior of its visitors, exploring a futuristic and dynamic relationship between people, [urban space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portlantis), and its nature.” We all hope that the Daan Roosegaarde endeavor achieves its goal of exploring innovative new relationships between people, space and nature, but for right now we just like the fact that it is pretty. Better soak it in, you lucky Dutch.
