LO1-My Inspiration

Antonin Fourneau, (2012), The Water Light Graffiti Wall

The project is an interactive public art work that earned huge success in Paris in 2012. The art work consists of a giant LED light wall which responds specifically to water. The public interact with the wall with brushes, water-guns, and hands (anything damp will do), creating their own paintings on the light wall. I like that the piece is responsive, dynamic, imaginative, and visually pleasing.

It is a successful art work that provides the public with great fun and possibilities for individual and collective creativity. The project was displayed in many other parts of the world in later years. The artist Antonin Fourneau designed and created this piece. When the water gets in touch with the light wall, electric bridge is created so the light bulbs under the surface of the wall will be powered up. I think the project may have employed machine learning. The designer uses commands to control the lightbulbs. The project is not only entertaining, but also educational in the future as it allows one to leave a message that can be displayed to the society without damaging any public facilities.
