# Fingerprint-Mapping Tablet Art Jonas Carlsson Depicts Typical Finger Movements for iPad Apps By | Published 2013-06-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jonas-carlsson References: [designyoutrust](http://designyoutrust.com/2013/06/fingerprints-on-the-ipad/) & [freeyork.org](http://freeyork.org/art/fingerprints-on-the-ipad) Designer Jonas Carlsson has cleverly depicted typical finger patterns of different [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astropad-slate) applications with his new tablet art. This minimalist series shows different [iPads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iframix-smart-frame), each with a telling fingerprint pattern on their touchscreens. Everything from Photos to Angry Birds is included in the series. The 'Photos' shot shows fingerprints that slide back and forth across a screen, since on touchscreens, sliding your finger causes the photos to change. The most memorable shot is definitely the one depicting the fingerprint pattern for iDraft. Since this app allows for [drawing using fingers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fingermimicking-makeup-applicators), the resulting pattern is a blurry side profile portrait of a mysterious figure. Carlsson's iPad art is representative of the world's preoccupation with technology. His series injects fine art with technology, showing that the world now considers technology-created products to be just as artistic as organically created works. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tablet Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new ways to combine technology and art by creating artwork on tablets. - **Fingerprint Mapping:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing fingerprint recognition technology to enhance security and personalization in various applications and industries. - **Technology in Fine Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating technology into traditional art forms to create unique and interactive experiences for viewers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Digital Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leveraging digital tools and platforms to create art and reach a wider audience. - **Biometrics and Security:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Advancing fingerprint recognition technology for secure access and authentication in various industries, such as finance, healthcare, and retail. - **Technology and Fine Art Galleries:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating immersive experiences in art galleries by integrating technology and digital art installations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper-Inspired Drawing Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xencelabs-pen-tablet.md) - [Designer-Targeted Tablet Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pen-tablet.md) - [Fashionable Desktop Design Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wondlet-graphics-tablet.md) - [Doodling Mental Health Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scribble-journey-app.md) - [Professional Drawing Tablet Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astropad-slate.md) - [Immersive Tablet Picture Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iframix-smart-frame.md) - [Creativity-Supporting Art Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blank-app.md) - [Creative Infinite Whiteboard Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freeform-app.md) - [Interactive Tattoo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkstory.md)
