WATERLIGHT GRAFFITI
ANTONIN FOURNEAU
IN COLLABORATION WITH Art2m, 2016
Thousand LEDs compose an interactive to water surface. This composition as a canvas, reacts to the water touch by producing light. The water creates an electrical bridge and empowering the LEDs to lighten up.
Waterlight Graffiti introduces a new kind of artistic expression by drawing with water and producing light. This project enables anyone to graffiti the wall of LEDs with a basic environment-friendly atomizer. This opportunity opens up new avenues to how the urban architecture is perceived by mixing a natural element with a technological infrastructure. The project was presented at Power Villette Numérique 2004 in Paris for the first time.
