# Unintentional Dance Installations 'Nowhere and Everywhere at the Same Time' Involves Pendulums By Meghan Young | Published 2014-05-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nowhere-and-everywhere-at-the-same-time References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/william-forsythe-nowhere-and-everywhere) [Installations that interact with passersby](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion) are almost always full of unexpected energy as Nowhere and Everywhere at the Same Time No. 2 shows. Made up of [hundreds of delicate pendulums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-installation), it turns visitors into [unintentional dancers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-wall) as they bob and weave to avoid getting hit by one. Absolutely playful, sidestepping the pendulums becomes as much of a game as it does a dance. Designed by William Forsythe, an American dancer and choreographer based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Nowhere and Everywhere at the Same Time No. 2 is currently installed at Circus Street Market until the end of the month. Swinging in criss-crossing directions, the pendulums are interestingly not set to music. The footsteps (and perhaps laughter) are enough sounds. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive Installations:** Designing installations that actively engage with passersby and create unexpected energy and playful interactions. - **Unintentional Dancing:** Exploring art forms or experiences that transform mundane actions, such as sidestepping, into creative and expressive movements. - **Innovative Sound Design:** Utilizing non-traditional audio elements to enhance interactive installations, moving away from reliance on music. ### Where This Applies - **Art Installations:** Creating immersive and interactive art installations that break traditional boundaries and engage audiences on a deeper level. - **Entertainment:** Incorporating interactive elements into entertainment experiences to create unique and memorable moments for audiences. - **Architecture and Design:** Exploring new ways to integrate movement, sound, and playfulness into architectural and design projects, blurring the lines between art and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Urban Soundscape Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-installation.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Interactive Multi Sensory Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jen-lewin.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Immersive Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-public-art-installation.md) - [Kinetic Musical Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musical-bench.md) - [Reflective Public Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-and-butterflies-are-dancing.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Unique Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aurora.md)
