# Kinetic Opera Sculptures Studio Drift Creates a Dynamic Piece for the Dutch National Touring Opera By Kalin Ned | Published 2020-02-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opera-sculpture References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2020/02/09/studio-drift-ego-installation-opera/) & [reisopera.nl](https://reisopera.nl/producties/lorfeo/) [Studio Drift](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-show) elevates the production of L'Orfeo with a striking opera sculpture that is made with 10 miles of ultra-fine nylon. The installation provides a dramatic setting for the performance and is used to better relate to the audience the changing "inner world of the characters on stage." Without a doubt, this adds another dimension of immersion for the act. The [kinetic opera sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/library-of-light) is the product of a collaboration between the progressive art studio and the Nederlandse Reisopera ([Dutch National Touring Opera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-fountain)). The partnership is an example of 'Gesamtkunstwerk,' which is a term used to describe an art experience that makes use of multiple mediums. To complete the collective objective, the creatives worked with a flexible, "hair-thin reflective Japanese fluorocarbon thread," which is said to share the properties of a fishing line. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Kinetic Opera Sculptures:** Innovations in the use of ultra-fine nylon, combined with fishing line-like materials, could create new opportunities in the development of kinetic opera sculptures. - **Gesamtkunstwerk Collaborations:** Further partnerships between progressive art studios and theatrical groups could result in more Gesamtkunstwerk experiences for audiences. - **Multi-medium Art Experiences:** Incorporating multiple mediums such as sculpture, kinetic installations, and performance, could create new possibilities for immersive art experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Culture:** Creative professionals could lead in developing multi-medium and immersive art installations to create unique experiences for audiences. - **Opera and Theatre:** Production artists in opera and theatre could partner with creative professionals to incorporate innovative installation designs and techniques to enhance performances. - **Manufacturing and Materials:** Innovations in materials such as ultra-fine nylon and Japanese reflective fluorocarbon thread, could create opportunities for manufacturers to produce new artistic products and installations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Immersive Kinetic Glass Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-glass-installation.md) - [Artful Dynamic Kinetic Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-vases.md) - [Sculptural Photocoltaic Theater Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opera-and-ballet-theatre-of-kosovo.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md) - [Intricate Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest1.md) - [Sculpted Rhythm Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kinetic-collection.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Musical-Themed Kinetic Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daydreamer.md)
