# Melody-Making Walls The Ste Justine Musical Wall Brings Some Color to the Hospital By Vivian Lau | Published 2012-06-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ste-justine-musical-wall References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/1669951/musical-wall-makes-children-s-hospital-a-little-less-sucktastic) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/42198508) Hospitals are notoriously depressing, what with their white walls, squeaky sanitized countertops and plain nurse attire -- a little bit of color to brighten the atmosphere is sure to be welcomed, which is exactly what the Ste Justine Musical Wall hopes to achieve. The Ste Justine is a hospital in Montreal that has recently installed this magical [interactive wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-wall) to entertain both children and adults alike. As a projection, its technology allows anyone to wave their hands near the wall to draw lines across the musical bar, which creates a melody as you draw. Different shapes can be made, creating different sounds that have the option of being repeatedly played back. The wall is created by the [Moment Factory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-multimedia-experience), which is part of a bigger project, ‘La mason de vie’ by Denise Robert, to make [hospitals more pleasant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakv-clinic). Definitely a worthwhile initiative! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Interactive Walls:** The Ste Justine Musical Wall showcases the trend of interactive walls that engage users and create a unique experience. - **Multisensory Experiences:** The use of projection technology and sound synthesis on the Ste Justine Musical Wall highlights the trend of creating multisensory experiences in various settings, including hospitals. - **Wellness-focused Design:** The installation of the Ste Justine Musical Wall demonstrates the trend of incorporating design elements that promote well-being and improve the atmosphere in healthcare environments. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can explore the implementation of interactive walls, like the Ste Justine Musical Wall, to enhance patient experiences and promote healing. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can utilize the concept of interactive walls, such as the Ste Justine Musical Wall, to create engaging and immersive experiences for audiences. - **Design and Architecture:** The design and architecture industry can embrace the trend of wellness-focused design by incorporating interactive elements, like the Ste Justine Musical Wall, into various spaces to enhance user experiences and well-being. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Creativity Home Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-interactive-wall.md) - [Town-Like Children's Hospital](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herzog-de-meuron.md) - [Mural-Adorned Pediatric Clinics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odessa-brown-childrens-clinic.md) - [Live Classical Music Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-classical-music.md) - [Customizable Kids Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface.md) - [Musical-Themed Kinetic Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daydreamer.md) - [Healing VR Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healing-vr-experiences.md) - [Heritage Sound Playgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hornscape-playground.md) - [Architectural Wall Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanise-wall.md)
