# Stunning Colliding Paint Captures 'Splash' by Paulo Wang Captures Images of Liquids Clashing By Tia Clarke | Published 2013-03-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paulo-wang References: [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/62201173) & [agonistica](http://agonistica.com/splash-by-paulo-wang/) This stunning video from artist Paulo Wang displays the detailed effects of liquids when they defy gravity and are thrown into the air. The Vienna-based artist created the Splash video with the goal to "learn the basics of fluid stimulations with realflow." The extremely detailed images capture the [thick splodges of paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pointillism) colliding with each other at 30 frames per second, using a high-definition 4D camera. The artist himself states, "Splash is something I made to learn the basics of [fluid simulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidris) in RealFlow. It feels like I haven't even scratched the surface yet, but for now I can hardly wait to get back to Mograph, Xpresso and the rest of it." While this is surely a messy experiment, it is one which is certainly beautiful to look at. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 70% | 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) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **High-definition Fluid Simulations:** Opportunity to develop advanced fluid simulation technologies for visual effects in industries such as film, gaming, and advertising. - **Real-time Fluid Dynamics:** Opportunity to create real-time fluid dynamics software and tools for interactive applications in industries like virtual reality, simulation, and gaming. - **Data Visualization of Fluid Dynamics:** Opportunity to develop data visualization techniques to analyze and understand complex fluid dynamics in industries such as engineering, healthcare, and environmental science. ### Where This Applies - **Film:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating more realistic and high-quality fluid simulations for visual effects in film production. - **Gaming:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in developing immersive and realistic fluid dynamics for interactive gaming experiences. - **Engineering:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in applying fluid dynamics data visualization to improve engineering designs and simulations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mesmerizing Fluid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-fountain.md) - [High-Frequency Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yolo-paint.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md) - [Sky-Based Visual Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratosplash.md) - [Color-Blending Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/felipe-pantone.md) - [Leftover Househouse Paint Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-drop.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [3D-Printed Colorful Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1.md) - [Dynamic Video Backdrops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluidmotion.md)
