Filling an entire gallery space, the fabricated art piece is constructed from a series of [cut and woven strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral) of plastic sheathing. Merged together to create overlapping panels, this sculptural piece explores the relationship between materiality and space. Made to resemble an organic, cave-like environment, the piece's materiality is reminiscent of a netted hammock. The WHITE project combines the mind power of 20 [California Polytechnic State University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-and-space-center) students. Created to inform and educate visitors, this massive art installation is 7432 square meters in length, making it an artful and imaginative makeshift habitat for design-loving visitors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 39% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive Art Installations:** Creating interactive art installations can help designers explore the relationship between materiality and space. - **Movable and Malleable Structures:** Developing movable and malleable structures can help create imaginative makeshift habitats for visitors. - **Woven Plastic Art Pieces:** Woven plastic art pieces can help designers create sculpture that resembles organic environments. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can use interactive and moveable installations for creative expression. - **Architecture and Engineering:** The architecture and engineering industry can develop malleable structures for design exploration. - **Manufacturing and Materials:** The manufacturing and materials industry can develop new materials, like woven plastic, for art and design applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textured Cast Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scad.md) - [Billowing Modular Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curly-cube.md) - [Performance-Driven Public Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-wall.md) - [Accessibility-Enhancing Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isometric-studio.md) - [Fraying Dynamic Wooden Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-house.md) - [Breathtaking Woven Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-installation.md) - [Inflated Design Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-as-a-main-material.md) - [Translucent Mesh-Wrapped Art Center](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flickering-peak.md) - [Interactive Weaved Jacquard Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dung-dkar-cloak.md)
