As most of you know that an Expo with water and conservation as a theme is on the works for 2008, it's called Expo Zaragoza 2008. Well... a couple of months ago there were publications all over the web covering the design of the Expo's Water Pavilion designed by a group of architects and students over at MIT with dozens of partners. I found the building utterly fascinating including the possibilities that it opened.
This morning I found via Dezeen a video of what I assume to be the technology that's going to be used in order to use water as a graphic element, water printing I think they call it. Apparently the technology has been around for quite a while (I seem to remember having read somewhere that it started in '92), traveling all around Europe, like on the Nuits Blanches in Paris. And has even been featured in a commercial of the Brazilian flip flop brand Ipanema with Gisele Bundchen.
Enjoy the mini documentary on the German artist responsible for several installations around Europe using this technology, his name is Julius Popp. His installations are a combination of technology and art, technology used to inspire feelings in visitors and people who experience his works, which happen to be immersive.
