# Life-Sized Film Set Replicas The Resisting Entropy Project Built This Massive Replica in 24 Hours By Mesel Isaac | Published 2013-12-30 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resisting-entropy References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/3024110/a-replica-of-the-wizard-of-oz-house-built-from-scrap) & [farnsworthmuseum.org](http://www.farnsworthmuseum.org/resisting-entropy-dorothys-house) Resisting Entropy: There’s No Place Like Home is a collaborative project done by 15 artists in Maine in honor of the 75th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz. The house is a life-size recreation of Dorothy Gale's home made out of "reclaimed construction materials" in a 24 hour period. As part of its exhibit called The Wonderful World of Oz: Selections from the Willard Carroll/Tom Wilhite Collection, the Fanswroth Museum is currently displaying Resisting Entropy. Resisting Entropy shows us how powerful collaboration can be; it's incredible to think that a bunch of different artists with varying skills were able to come together and create such an amazing sculpture in such little time. Personally, I believe that this Wizard of Oz replica is a fitting tribute to the house that killed that wretched Wicked Witch of the East. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Collaborative Art Projects:** The Resisting Entropy project demonstrates the power of collaboration and opens up opportunities for further community-driven art projects. - **Reclaimed Construction Materials:** Using reclaimed materials to create life-size replicas presents an opportunity for businesses to explore sustainable construction practices. - **Pop Culture Homage:** The Wonderful World of Oz exhibit showcases the popularity of pop culture memorabilia, creating opportunities for businesses to tap into the nostalgia market. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Culture:** The Resisting Entropy project displays the potential for artists to come together to create innovative and collaborative pieces for public display. - **Construction and Sustainability:** The use of reclaimed materials in the Resisting Entropy project highlights the potential for businesses to explore sustainable practices and solutions in construction. - **Entertainment and Memorabilia:** The Wonderful World of Oz exhibit showcases the demand for pop culture memorabilia, which presents opportunities for businesses to capitalize on the nostalgia market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Theater-Driven Stays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elphabas-retreat-airbnb.md) - [Festive Brick Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whoville-moc.md) - [Reinterpreted Immersive Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wizard-of-oz-360.md) - [Witchy Toy Building Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-1.md) - [Whimsical Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-for-good.md) - [Whimsical Theater-Themed Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-bookend.md) - [Toy Brick Reimagined Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-movie.md) - [Film-Inspired Whimsical Rental Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icons-program.md) - [Weatherized Visual Wooden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hundred-acre-wood.md)
