# Trontastic Art Exhibits Simon Birch Re-Creates the Disney Film for His 'Hope & Glory' Exhibit By Michael Hines | Published 2010-04-22 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simon-birch References: [dailymail](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1266562/How-artist-brought-2D-architect-blueprints-life.html) & [simon-birch](http://www.simon-birch.com/) Simon Birch is a genius. 'Hope & Glory' is the name of his [innovative art exhibition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hofa-gallery) in Hong Kong, and the pictures in the gallery are from an exhibit titled 'Crawling in the Wreckage.' Now that we have the technical stuff out of the way, let's talk Tron. 'Crawling in the Wreckage' is totally Tron-inspired. The room mimics the feel of the epic movie down to a t, from the [neon lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble) to the [grid patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-are-you-looking-at). I've said it before and I'll say it again: Simon Birch is a genius. A Tron-themed art exhibit is always a win in my book. Thank you, Simon Birch, for helping me appreciate art and light cycles again. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Tron-inspired Art Exhibits:** Opportunity for artists to create immersive art experiences inspired by Tron aesthetics. - **Neon Lighting in Art Installations:** Emerging trend of using neon lighting to create visually striking art installations. - **Pop Culture Influence in Art:** Growing trend of artists incorporating popular films, such as Tron, into their exhibitions. ### Where This Applies - **Art Galleries:** Potential for art galleries to attract a wider audience by hosting innovative Tron-inspired art exhibits. - **Lighting Design:** Opportunity for lighting designers to collaborate with artists in creating immersive art experiences using neon lighting. - **Film Merchandise:** Opportunity for film studios to collaborate with artists and create merchandise based on popular films, like Tron. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Forgotten Theme-Park Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forgotten-fantasy.md) - [Interactive Colorful Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hockney-bigger-closer.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Filmmaker-Honoring Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-world-of-tim-burton.md) - [Highly-Immersive Artist Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dennis-hopper.md) - [Indoor Playground Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-playground-art-exhibition.md) - [CG Technology Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cg-technology-art-exhbition.md) - [Multi-Sensory Art Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcadia-earth-toronto-benjamin-von-wong.md) - [Dynamic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-in-motion-exhibition.md)
