In the words of Bui: "There’s a re-emergence of interest in what psychedelic means." With this in mind, the artist revisited culture from the 60s and 70s, but in an immersive environment that includes a contemporary take on psychedelic themes as well. As a backdrop to [paintings and installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satellite-exhibition), the intriguing exhibit used pink shag carpets on walls, dizzying rainbow stripes on the floor and lighting to emulate the effects of a hallucination. This quirky, [immersive exhibit on psychedelic art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) was housed at Red Bull because this building provided great bones for the experience that Bui compared to an Austin Powers movie set. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Psychedelic Art Revival:** Opportunity to capitalize on the re-emergence of interest in psychedelic art and create immersive experiences for audiences. - **Contemporary Interpretation of Psychedelia:** Potential to explore new interpretations and themes within the psychedelic art genre, combining both nostalgia and modern elements. - **Multisensory Exhibitions:** Incorporate innovative methods like vibrant lighting, immersive environments, and sensory experiences to enhance art exhibitions and engage visitors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Galleries and Museums:** Art galleries and museums can embrace the psychedelic art revival trend and curate exhibitions that showcase the genre's rich history and contemporary interpretations. - **Event Planning and Production:** Event planners and producers can tap into the trend of immersive and multisensory exhibitions to create memorable experiences for attendees, incorporating elements of psychedelic art. - **Interior Design and Architecture:** Interior designers and architects can draw inspiration from psychedelic art and create vibrant and dynamic spaces that evoke a sense of psychedelic wonder. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Burgeoning Psychedelic Art Movements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-art-movement.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Incredibly Bold Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memphis-miami.md) - [Psychedelic Hand-Painted Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-iii.md) - [Perception-Challenging Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becoming-familiar.md) - [Psychedelic Sculptural Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-stella-recent-sculpture.md) - [Psychedelic Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia.md) - [Kaleidoscopic Dream Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamachine.md) - [Interactive Colorful Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hockney-bigger-closer.md)
