# Subzero Console Artworks The Playstation Ice Sculpture by Glacial Art Dazzles as a Chilling Piece By Matt Ho | Published 2011-12-12 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-ice-sculpture References: [whitezine](http://www.whitezine.com/en/motion/playstation-ice-sculpture.html) & [glacialart](http://www.glacialart.com/) It's that time of year again where ice sculptures start to make a presence in several communities and to start things off, Glacial Art created the Playstation Ice Sculpture. The Liverpool-based company is well-known for creating some of the best subzero pieces, and this year, they're paying homage to Sony's console with the Playstation Ice Sculpture. The art piece is an enlarged version of the Playstation controller that was cut out of a large block of ice. Each button and joystick was then meticulously carved by hand to get the details right. Stickers and labels were then added to put the finishing touches on this incredible sculpture. The PlayStation Ice Sculpture was created for Playstation's 'Play Everywhere' event that took place in Dublin's city center. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ice Sculpture Art:** Opportunity for artists to create unique and visually striking ice sculptures for events and installations. - **Gaming Memorabilia Art:** Artists can explore creating sculptures and installations inspired by popular video game consoles and characters. - **Event Branding with Sculptures:** Brands can incorporate custom ice sculptures into their events as a unique and visually captivating branding element. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Sculpture:** Artists and sculpture makers can explore the use of ice as a medium to create stunning and temporary art installations. - **Gaming and Entertainment:** The gaming industry can partner with artists and sculptors to create unique pieces of gaming memorabilia for promotional events. - **Event Planning and Branding:** Event planners and marketers can incorporate custom sculptures, like ice sculptures, as a standout element in their event branding strategies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Building Block Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ps-one.md) - [Contoured Gaming Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-console-concept.md) - [Industrial Next-Gen Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-6-console-concept.md) - [Earth-Inspired Gaming Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-playstation-deep-earth-collection.md) - [Archival Game-Honoring Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/30th-anniversary-book.md) - [Pro-Grade Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-playstation-5-pro-concept.md) - [Gaming Anniversary Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-x-anicorn.md) - [Angular Next-Gen Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-6-concept.md) - [Heritage-Inspired Game Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-30th-anniversary-collection.md)
