OSRAM is one of the two largest lighting manufacturers in the world and is a subsidiary of [Siemens AG](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazemet-siemens-xcelerator). This is an [interactive art display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phenomena) called Reactive Sparks that collects information about passing traffic and displays waves as the vehicles drive by. The [LED waves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yurameki) get bigger as the number of vehicles that pass the sensors increase.This installation was designed by artist Markus Lerner for OSRAM. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 79% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive Installations:** Creating interactive art installations that leverage technology to engage audiences could be a disruptive innovation opportunity for art and design industries. - **Smart Sensors:** Developing and implementing smart sensors that are capable of collecting and analyzing data to generate real-time visual displays of information could be a disruptive innovation opportunity for technology and manufacturing industries. - **Data Visualization:** Exploring new ways to create artistic and informative visual representations of data, such as the LED waves shown in Reactive Sparks, could be a disruptive innovation opportunity for marketing and advertising industries. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers could leverage technology to create interactive installations like Reactive Sparks that engage audiences in new and innovative ways. - **Technology and Manufacturing:** Developing smart sensors that can collect and analyze data to generate real-time visual displays opens up new possibilities for industries such as manufacturing and transportation. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Creating visually stunning and informative representations of data, such as the LED waves in Reactive Sparks, could help companies better engage customers and promote their products or services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aurora.md) - [Dynamic Interactive Lighting Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zava.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Urban Soundscape Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-installation.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Intricate Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest1.md) - [Immersive Light Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md) - [Colorful Educational Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparking-change.md)
