The installation generates visuals that are affected by each visitor's movements. This multi-sensory art display is experienced as visitors enter a black room with a screen that reacts to create [crystal visuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-light) that are dependent on movement. According to Dezeen magazine, the Levy was inspired by the notion that "a master jewel cutter can predict the shape of a cut stone but not how it will interact with the light." Using this idea of unpredictability has made for a stunning visual show in the ever-prominent genre of [interactive art installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phenomena). Arik Levy capitalizes on random movements to create striking visuals that make chaos seem beautiful. The inventive 'Osmosis' Installation by Arik Levy is highly modern and hypnotizing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Art Installations:** The 'Osmosis' Installation by Arik Levy demonstrates the potential for interactive visuals to enhance art experiences and create new forms of expression. - **Multi-sensory Exhibitions:** The use of visual, auditory, and tactile elements in the 'Osmosis' Installation suggests potential for immersive exhibitions that engage multiple senses. - **Unpredictable Design:** Arik Levy's approach to creating visuals based on random movement highlights the potential for embracing unpredictability in design to create unique and compelling experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fine Arts:** The incorporation of interactive visuals in the 'Osmosis' Installation by Arik Levy reflects the potential for fine arts to embrace technology to create new and engaging experiences. - **Museums/galleries:** The 'Osmosis' Installation by Arik Levy demonstrates the potential for museums and galleries to create immersive exhibitions that engage visitors on multiple sensory levels. - **Event Design:** The use of interactive visuals and multi-sensory elements in the 'Osmosis' Installation suggests potential for event designers to create unique and engaging experiences that leave lasting impressions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md) - [Unique Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aurora.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Mesmerizing Fluid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-fountain.md) - [Immersive Crystal Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-crystal-installation.md) - [Immersive Light Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Immersive Kinetic Glass Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-glass-installation.md) - [Chaos-Insppired Ceramic Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-installation1.md) - [Thought-Provoking Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibodies-installation.md)
