# Satellite-Visible Art The Molly Dilworth Rooftop Paintings Can Be Seen in Space By Meghan Young | Published 2010-02-28 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molly-dilworth-rooftop-paintings References: [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/mollydilworth/sets/72157623364560566/) I think making the world a little more colorful is an admirable endeavor, so when I stumbled upon the Molly Dilworth rooftop paintings, I couldn't help but smile. Apparently inspired by Google Earth, unlike US Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu's desire to paint roofs white, this will be a more inspiring project. Taking a [paint-by-number approach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-by-squares), the Molly Dilworth rooftop paintings are unique unto each other. Although Google Earth may not be able to hone in on to these beautiful canvases anytime soon, I think we should still give Dilworth our kudos for making our world that much more colorful. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Satellite-visible Art:** Using rooftops as canvases for unique and visible art that can be seen from space can be a new form of self-expression and a unique marketing opportunity. - **Paint-by-number Approach:** Adopting a paint-by-number approach in art can be a new way to create unique and consistent designs. - **Colorful World Endeavors:** Increasing the use of colors and patterns in public art can be a disruptive approach to beautifying public spaces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore satellite-visible art as a new form of self-expression and marketing opportunity. - **Real Estate:** The real estate industry can adopt public rooftop art as a technique to create visual differentiation and appeal to prospective tenants. - **Municipalities and Urban Planning:** Municipalities and urban planning sectors can invest in colorful public art as an innovative way to beautify and add vibrancy to urban spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Aerial Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-power-campaign.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Leftover Househouse Paint Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-drop.md) - [High-Frequency Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yolo-paint.md) - [Sky-Based Visual Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratosplash.md) - [Street Art-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/met-rooftop.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Climate-Responsive Color-Changing Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorchanging-paint-1.md) - [Augmented Reality Travel Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-murals.md)
