# Fluid Function Art Exhibits Optical Flow Exhibition Boasts Kinetic Art in Everyday Objects By Amy Duong | Published 2025-08-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow References: [3daysofdesign.dk](https://www.3daysofdesign.dk/exhibition/fanzi)  The Optical Flow exhibition dissolves the line between art and utility through installations that feel alive across perception. Presented by FANZI at [3daysofdesign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3daysofdesign), this showcase features Taiwanese designers Yen-An Chen, Coby Huang, Ting-Hsuan Chang, and Shun-Hsiung Hung, and Danish designer Marie-Louise Høstbo, who blend visual computing concepts—like pixel movement and flow—with everyday objects, inviting the eye to see, pause, and shift. Objects like lamps, tables, and [sculptural furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-furniture) become dynamic through [light, reflection, and material interplay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue). Each piece responds to surroundings and presence, refracted by context and changing gaze. Works like Marie-Louise Høstbo’s yoga storage system turn everyday rituals into quiet ceremonies—where storage feels intentional and ritualistic. This presentation questions the static nature of utilitarian design, offering instead a sensory meditation where function emerges from fluid perception. Optical Flow reframes design as a living, moving experience—not fixed in form but ever-revealing through interaction.
