Creative Review notes, "Dexia, a bank, opened its Tower, next to the Rogier Metro station at the end of one of the city's main thoroughfares, last year. Ever since, it has played host to a series of [amazing light shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-light), mostly courtesy of Brussels-based LAb[au], specialists in [interactive artworks and audiovisual performances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble). Playing while we were there was Who's Afraid of Red, Green and Blue? (above), one of a series of six different works, each lasting two months. The current show is on the theme of weather." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 92% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Interactive Building Lighting:** Embracing technology to create interactive and visually stunning lighting displays on buildings. - **Remote Controlled LED Lighting:** Utilizing remote controlled RGB LED bars to transform buildings into customizable light shows. - **Audiovisual Performances:** Combining visual art and sound to create immersive experiences for viewers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Incorporating interactive lighting elements into building designs to create unique and captivating structures. - **Entertainment:** Using remote controlled LED lighting systems to enhance the visual experience in concerts, festivals, and other live events. - **Art:** Exploring the possibilities of audiovisual performances as a new form of artistic expression and entertainment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Neon Illustation-Donned Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-world-exhibition-1.md) - [Math-Driven Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alba-light.md) - [Office Building Rainbow Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-rainbow-office.md) - [Art Deco-Tower Angular Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-libeskind.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Intricate Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest1.md) - [Stunningly Intricate Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-light.md) - [LED-Wrapped Airport Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pragues-airport.md) - [Neon Illuminated Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescence.md)
