# High-Speed City Shoots Travel as the Flash in 'Urban Zoom' by Jakob Wagner By Michael Hines | Published 2010-04-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-zoom-by-jakob-wagner References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Urban-Zoom/333146) & [jakobwagner.eu](http://jakobwagner.eu/) '[Urban Zoom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-revivo-1)' by Jakob Wagner showcases cities I may never visit at speeds well above the limit. It's like if the Travel Channel were shot on a [carnival ride](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-torch). 'Urban Zoom' by Jakob Wagner takes you from New York to Amsterdam without ever slowing down. These photos are a trip. I love the way 'Urban Zoom' makes me want to visit these gorgeous cities, even though they are never really in focus. I guess it took a blurry high-speed photo to make me realize how beautiful Düsseldorf really is. This must be what it's like to be [the Flash](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flash). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## 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 - **High-speed Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced technology that allows for high-speed photography to capture fast-moving subjects with more clarity. - **Travel Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative tools or services that enhance the experience and quality of travel photography, making it more accessible and enjoyable for travelers. - **Dynamic City Visualization:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop interactive and immersive technologies that allow users to explore and experience cities in a dynamic and visually captivating way. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce cutting-edge camera equipment or software that enables photographers to capture high-speed subjects with greater precision and detail. - **Travel and Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement novel approaches or technologies into the travel industry that enhance the visual representation and documentation of popular destinations. - **Augmented Reality/virtual Reality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create AR/VR applications or experiences that allow users to virtually explore and visualize cities with high-speed and dynamic elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Laser-Cut Urban Artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-city-maps.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Digital Audio-Visual Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audiovisual-exhibition.md) - [Motion Blur-Inspired Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-rocking-chair.md) - [Virtual City Explorers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-explorers.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md) - [Car-Free AR Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feels-like-home-campaign.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md)
