# Sluggish Street Art Inner City Snail By Cowbag | Published 2008-07-30 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inner-city-snail-slow-moving-street-art References: [little-people.blogspot](http://little-people.blogspot.com/) I thought the [Lego](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-cyklop) wall street art was an awesome urban installation, but 'Inner City Snail' has got to take the biscuit on name alone. The artists call it a [slow moving street art project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slowpaced-survival). The snail with the parking ticket and the one called John are among my favourites. When I was little I used to tape numbers on the snails' shells so I could track them around the garden. Inner City Snail is just like a fabulous grown-up version of that! The artists behind the installation are also those behind the Little People Project which has been featured on Trend Hunter before. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Slow Art Movement:** The Inner City Snail project reflects a trend towards slower, more immersive art experiences that encourage contemplation and reflection. - **Interactive Urban Art:** The Lego wall and Inner City Snail projects demonstrate a growing trend towards street art that invites public engagement and participation. - **Nature-inspired Art:** The use of a snail as the subject of the Inner City Snail project reflects a wider trend towards art inspired by nature and the natural environment. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Installation:** There is an opportunity for artists and designers to create immersive art installations that challenge the pace and expectations of traditional urban environments. - **Public Space Design:** City planners and architects can incorporate interactive art elements into public spaces to create more engaging, accessible urban environments. - **Brand Marketing:** Brands can collaborate with artists and designers to create memorable, shareable urban art experiences that align with their brand values and message. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bubblegum Street Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Whiskey-Themed Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upfest.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Street Art-Style Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-plug.md) - [Tree-Integrated Mysterious Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-mural.md) - [Enigmatic Graffiti Incidents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti.md) - [Street Art-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/met-rooftop.md) - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md)
