# Arboreal Musical Installations The Tree Concert is an Eco-Activist Art Project By Trenton Millar | Published 2012-09-22 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-concert References: [weburbanist](http://weburbanist.com/2012/09/20/musical-tree-installation-creates-sounds-from-falling-chestnuts/) In Montbijoupark, Berlin, the Tree Concert art installation is drawing in peoples’ eyes and ears. Green polymer membranes sit beneath a large chestnut tree. Sound and light is emitted every time a nut falls off the tree and hits a membrane. The falling nuts create an [ambient musical atmosphere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble) that remind one of the slow turning of the seasons. The Tree Concert art installation was created in order to bring attention to the [declining population of trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vert-installation) in Germany’s capital. The installation was created through a collaboration between Proximity BBDO Berlin and environmental organization BUND for Environment and Nature Conservation Germany. Donations can be made via text message to support the cause. The temporary art installation will be on display until September 24, 2012. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive Art Installations:** Opportunity for artists to create interactive installations that allow people to engage and interact with nature. - **Eco-activism Art:** Growing demand for art projects that promote environmental activism and raise awareness for sustainable living. - **Sensor-based Art Installations:** Rising trend in creating sensor-based art installations that enhance the human sensory experience and provide a new level of interactivity with art. ### Where This Applies - **Environmental Conservation:** Increased demand for environmental conservation requires innovative and creative campaigns that engage and inspire people. - **Art & Culture:** Art and cultural institutions have a unique opportunity to raise awareness and bring attention to social and environmental issues through creative initiatives. - **Technology & Sustainability:** Technological innovations in the field of sustainability open up new possibilities for creative and environment-friendly projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playable Oak Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funeral-for-a-tree.md) - [Plant-Powered MIDI Sound Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-hultn-tegel.md) - [Tree-Integrated Mysterious Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-mural.md) - [Nature-Reconnecting Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highwood-installation.md) - [Resin Gravity Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-tree.md) - [Science-Backed Wooden Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seed-stories.md) - [Air-Purifying Tree Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treeone.md) - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [Botanical Signal Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-pulses.md)
