Water And LED Lights Graffiti


Art means a different thing to everyone. For some is just something they have to do because of art class, for some people they do it because they just love it and for others it’s a away to express themselves in ways they can’t with words or writing. However no one can think of one bad think with this type of art Graffiti using only water and Led lights. This light wall was made by a French designer and artist Antonin Fourneau who also worked with another group of designers at the Digitalarti Artlab. They made a wall composed of many LED lights. They made it that whenever the wall touches water the lights turned on.

The group of artist and designers worked on this project for many weeks. They had many models, designs and samples to make sure it worked perfectly. After it was completed in July, the people of Poitiers, France were able to try it out and let their whole artistic talents out. Fourneau describes the wall “a wall for ephemeral (short-term) messages in the urban space without deterioration. A wall to communicate and share magically in the city.” I am sure all of you out there wanted to try it out, however hopefully Fourneau will bring a wall ot other countries to see what people of other cultures would draw.

I choose to write about this even because it does have something to do with elements and our unit now, however it does also have a fun factor to it. I also really like this event because I don't really like graffiti, when people draw on the building walls. However this is for those people who do like graffiti so they wont have to ruin buildings and other peoples houses.
