Located in South Africa, the Refunc 'TOYLIT' art installation is as unique as they come. Scattering the Mmabatho Stadium in Mafeking with [illuminated, blue porta-potties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible), it puts on an eerie show at night -- especially when [dancers emerge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer) from them at random intervals. The installation was part of the Cascoland project. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 2% | 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) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Art Installation Revamp:** Repurposing mundane objects such as porta-potties for artworks creating unique art installations and experiences. - **Interactive Art:** The rise of interactive art installations that capture the attention and interest of the public. - **Nighttime Aesthetic:** Creating installations that blend in with the natural surroundings during daylight and illuminate at night. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The art industry has a unique opportunity to create innovative art installations by repurposing everyday objects for aesthetic purposes. - **Events Management:** Event companies can benefit from interactive artwork installations by incorporating them into their event themes, making events more memorable. - **Construction and Architecture:** Architects and contractors can create unique building designs that are functional during the day and visually appealing at night, such as the illuminated porta-potties in the Refunc TOYLIT installation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Mobile Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-mobile-toilet.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Metallic Potty Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-portal.md) - [Inflatable Portable Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpot.md) - [Light-Filled Public Restrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivid-toilet-interior.md) - [Artfully Sculptured Textured Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-formation-02.md) - [Compact Portable Toilet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-toilets.md) - [Brutalist Smart Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formation-02.md) - [Intricate Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest1.md) - [Enclosed Japanese Park Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletowa.md)
