# Interactive Bubble Installations Nishida's Surreal Bubbles Change Color as They React to Music By Tiffany | Published 2013-12-15 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nishida References: [hdmnsd](http://hdmnsd.com/space/2013-fragile-occupancy--cloud/) & [viralnewschart](http://viralnewschart.com/ShowLink.aspx?linkId=22435931) In the hopes of making a lasting impression, Los Angeles-based design firm Mack Sennett Studios has enlisted the help of renowned Japanese artist Hidemi Nishida in creating a surreal, interactive and most importantly, fun environment in honor of the VIP Kick Off Party for the 2013 FYF festival. The [interactive installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble) is an entire ceiling of [giant bubbles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbles-everywhere) covering the 4,700 square foot space. To further enhance the interactivity and visual aesthetics of the giant plastic volumes, Nishida makes the surface of the bubbles vary in color and brightness as they interact and modify themselves according to the music playing in the room. The bubbles vary in height, ranging from 6 feet above ground to 13 feet in the air. As the giant LED plastic clouds bounce across the party, it creates a [rippling effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) that is surreal and peaceful at the same time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - 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 - **Interactive Installations:** The rise of interactive installations for immersive user experiences presents opportunities to create unique and memorable events through technology and art. - **Sensory Technology:** Incorporating sensory technology such as sound and light responsive elements into design creates engaging and interactive experiences for users. - **Spatial Design:** Spatial design that considers the interactivity between the environment and the user offers potential for innovative and customizable user experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Event Planning and Design:** Using interactive installations in event planning and design offers opportunities for clients to create memorable and unique experiences for their attendees. - **Art and Design:** The incorporation of technology and sensory elements into art and design can lead to new and innovative forms of expression. - **Entertainment and Hospitality:** Incorporating interactive installations into entertainment and hospitality industries can create immersive and engaging experiences that set establishments apart from competitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Monumental Air Installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape.md) - [Artful Garden Inflatable Spheres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-air.md) - [Unique Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aurora.md) - [Mesmerizing Fluid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-fountain.md) - [Inflatable-Orb Stage Set Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whomadewho.md) - [Music Festival Fabric Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabric-mushrooms.md) - [Bubble-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbles-lighting-design.md)
