Water Light Graffiti, created by Antonin Fourneau in the Artlab

For a few weeks, Antonin Fourneau has been working in residence at Digitalarti Artlab on the Water Light Graffiti project : a wall made of LED which light up when touched by water. After several tries, prototypes and material improvements, Water Light Graffiti was finally ready to take place for a few days in a public space, which happened to be Poitiers. From July 22nd to 24th, Poitiers inhabitants could discover and try Water Light Graffiti with the artist, the Digitalarti Artlab team and Painthouse, a graffiti collective, invited for demonstrations.

Water Light Graffiti was already exhibited in Paris, Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi, Barcelona, Rotterdam, New York, The Hague...

I just love it! It's such a beautiful idea.

How do these leds work? Are they commercialized?

Thanks in advance for the info!

Wonderful!

Water Light Graffiti

This is definetely a new way to "create" pictures using light. I wonder if they will try it with LED's that change color with different temperature changes (i.e. red for hot water, blue for cold/ice water, yellow for warm, ect.). That would be an interesting project to do!
