The brass bells plunge downwards through the spiralling opening of a stairwell as though they were part of an indoor waterfall. But in place of rushing water, [chimes are heard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-heirloom). The designer writes, "The essence of sound is the vibrations of frequency, and these vibrations are often seen as geometric patterns to the eye. Through the process of changing these geometric patterns, namely modulation, they become sounds for the artworks." Created by Byoungho Kim, The Progression of Silence installation is located in the Johnnie Walker House, an arts exhibition space opened in 2013 by the famous whisky distiller. It brings texture to the white space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Aural Installations:** Advancements in creative sound installations that stimulate and engage both a visual and auditory audience. - **Geometric-modulated Art:** Artwork that explores frequencies and creates unique soundscapes for the listener. - **Interactive Showcasing Spaces:** Designing spaces that both showcase art and immerse patrons with an interactive and unique sensory experience. ### Where This Applies - **Art Installation:** Utilizing technology and innovative design to create art installations that challenge the senses. - **Sound and Music Production:** Implementing emerging technologies to create unique soundscapes and sound design. - **Event Planning and Design:** Creating unique events and exhibitions utilizing cutting edge technologies for event-goers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stone Vaulting Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serpentine-bell.md) - [Water Movement Sculptural Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inner-waves.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Urban Soundscape Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-installation.md) - [Sound-Interactive Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arborhythm.md) - [Water-Covered Speaker Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaped-by-water.md) - [Chime Garden Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chime-gardens.md) - [Mesmerizing Fluid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-fountain.md) - [Geometric Outdoor Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colored-glass-wind-chime.md)
