# Projected Arachnid Illusion Installations The Van Schoor Projected Spider Battle is Terrifying By Trenton Millar | Published 2012-10-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-schoor-projected-spider-battle References: [obviouswinner](http://www.obviouswinner.com/obvwin/2012/10/16/cleverly-projected-giant-mutant-spider-battle-looks-scarily.html) & [geekologie](http://www.geekologie.com/2012/10/warning-giant-spider-video-man-records-s.php) If you have run out of original [Halloween decor ideas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouqs-spooky-collection), take inspiration from the Friedrich Van Schoor Projected Spider Battle. The German artist filmed spiders in a miniature replica of an office, and then blew up that video and projected it onto a real building. The result is the illusion that humongous mutant spiders are attacking each other in a regular old office building. They must be just waiting for a young teen to walk into the room, get bitten, and turn into the Amazing Spider Man. This clever and creepy [art project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-void) stands miles above putting out some [Jack-o-lanterns on your front porch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oriental-trading) and calling it a day. If spiders aren't your thing, just think of the possibilities using the same technique. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Projection Mapping Art:** Using projection mapping techniques to create immersive and interactive art installations. - **Augmented Reality Installations:** Creating realistic illusions by overlaying digital elements onto real-world environments. - **Giant Insect Illusions:** Designing large-scale projections of insects to create exciting visual experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Entertainment:** Artists and entertainment companies can explore new ways of captivating audiences through innovative projection mapping techniques. - **Event Planning and Advertising:** Event planners and advertisers can utilize augmented reality installations to create memorable and immersive experiences for their clients and customers. - **Tourism and Attractions:** Tourism industry and attractions can leverage giant insect illusions to create unique and captivating spectacles that attract visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spooky Dessert Halloween Decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-spider-donut-inflatable.md) - [Thematic Large-Scale Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spooky-at-illumi.md) - [Spooky Life-Size Animatronics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-character.md) - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [Larger-Than-Life Candy Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/15foot-inflatable.md) - [Halloween-Ready Animatronic Line-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-animatronics.md) - [3D Superhero Block-Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazing-spiderman-set.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Family-Friendly Halloween Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oriental-trading.md)
