# Electric Illumination Installations Marshmallow Laser Feast Creates a Forest Made of Laser Beams By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-04-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-beams References: [booooooom](http://www.booooooom.com/2013/04/29/marshmallow-laser-feast-video-profile/) & [marshmallowlaserfeast](http://marshmallowlaserfeast.com/82985/1310941/home/forest) Design studio [Marshmallow Laser Feast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marshmallow-penthouse) came up with a way to get people to interact with [high-tech light shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-lighting-experience) in a way that feels both beautiful and natural by creating a forest made with laser beams. Using computer technology to control the illuminated tendrils that make up the installation, the whole art piece becomes a new experience every time someone interacts with it. Projection mapping and real-time customization make the beams of light come alive as they move around and adjust to the different settings. Children can wander around and be amazed while adults can also find inspiration and wonder in the magical light show. The Forest project by Marshmallow Laser Feast uses laser beams to transport people to a jungle set in the future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Light Installations:** Using computer technology to create interactive light installations that provide a natural and beautiful experience. - **Projection Mapping:** Using projection mapping technology to create customized and dynamic illuminated art pieces. - **High-tech Natural Environments:** Creating high-tech environments that utilize natural settings to create a unique and magical experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Incorporating technology into art and design to create interactive and immersive experiences. - **Event Planning and Production:** Using interactive light installations and projection mapping technology to enhance events and create a unique atmosphere. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Creating high-tech natural environments as a unique attraction for tourists and hospitality venues. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Light Garden Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imaginarium360.md) - [Orb Lighting Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-island.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Immersive Digital Forests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teamlab-1.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Neon Illuminated Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescence.md) - [Interactive Mountain Oracles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whispering-mountains.md) - [Unique Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aurora.md) - [Immersive Light Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lektrik-festival-of-lights.md)
