# Infinity Mirror Mazes This Labyrinth Forces the User to Think About Perspective By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-06-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-maze References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/57527/) & [thecreatorsproject.vice](http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/lee-bul-via-negativa-ii) This [infinity mirror maze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kalegoidoscope) by Lee Bul is a different kind of maze than any we've ever seen. This maze doesn't try to confuse the people who walk through it with multiple exits or fake turns; what it does try to do though, is force people to confront perspective in an intense way. Imagine walking through a maze where the entire path was laid out to you. It wouldn't be very fun -- that is unless the maze was filled with mirrors. The ability for the maze to disillusion the people going through it is quite easy as the [mirrors bounce off each other](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection) again and again creating [long tunnels of perspective](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-box). The maze may not lose you as it's only a path, but you will get lost in it simply by looking around. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Infinity Mirror Mazes:** The creation of more and increasingly complex infinity mirror mazes has disruptive innovation opportunities for the amusement park and tourism industries. - **Perspective-based Immersive Experiences:** Creating immersive experiences that challenge the perception of the user has disruptive innovation opportunities for entertainment, education and marketing industries. - **Augmented Reality Mazes:** Incorporating augmented reality technology into maze designs has disruptive innovation opportunities for the tech and gaming industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Amusement Park:** Creating infinity mirror mazes and incorporating them into amusement parks as a new attraction will be a disruptive innovation opportunity for the amusement park industry. - **Tourism:** Creating infinity mirror mazes as tourist attractions in major cities and travel destinations has disruptive innovation opportunities for the tourism industry. - **Education:** Incorporating perspective-based immersive experiences into educational exhibits and museums has disruptive innovation opportunities for the education industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Modular Marble Mazes Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-maze.md) - [Maze-Inspired 3D-Printed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze-lamp.md) - [Kinetic Optical Illusion Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-woodflow.md) - [Maze-Inspired Performance Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-of-time.md) - [Challenging Infinity Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lizard-infinity-puzzle.md) - [Colorful Patterned Infinity Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-spend-each-day-embracing-flowers.md) - [Mirrored Hall Visual Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internamente.md) - [Reflective Material Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue.md)
