# Enlightening Social Media Fixtures The Twitter Ball by Sarah Turner is an Eco-Conscious & Recycled By Jordan M | Published 2011-02-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-ball-by-sarah-turner References: [hometone](http://www.hometone.com/entry/twitter-ball-save-plastic-and-illuminate-your-interiors/) & [sarahturner](http://www.sarahturner.co.uk) Most lighting fixtures are content merely to provide some kind of illumination, but the [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget) Ball by Sarah Turner is far more ambitious in its capabilities, composition, and aspirations. Made almost entirely from [recycled plastic bottles and LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern), the Twitter Ball by Sarah Turner is a brightly colored sphere that lights up in a variety of vivid colors. In addition to being made out of recycled materials, the lighting fixture is also eco-conscious via Twitter as well. When on display, each of the Twitter Ball's LEDs light up a different color whenever an eco-conscious word such as 'Ocean' or 'recycling' is tweeted online. The result is a dazzling visual display that goes a long way towards communicating a very important message. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Lighting Fixtures:** Exploring the use of sustainable materials and eco-conscious technology in lighting fixtures for enhanced visual aesthetics. - **Connected Social Media Decorations:** Integrating social media interaction with decorative objects for immersive experiences. - **Upcycled Art Installations:** Using repurposed materials to create unique, visually captivating art installations that convey important messages. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Lighting Industry:** Innovating lighting technology and materials to create eco-conscious and visually captivating products. - **Social Media Industry:** Exploring new ways to integrate social media use with tangible visual experiences. - **Art Installation Industry:** Finding new ways to repurpose and upcycle materials in the creation of visually stunning and socially conscious art installations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Otherworldly Lighting Fixture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otherworldly-lighting-fixture.md) - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Algae-Based Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chandeliers-sconces.md) - [Floating LED Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poof-light.md) - [Horizontal Glass Sphere Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-pendant.md) - [Sustainable Cylindrical Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stackabl-lighting-collection.md) - [Dazzling Gradient Lighting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-bulb.md)
