Communication has changed, as well as many ohter aspects in our lives. Technology is everywhere. It is part of who we are, what we do, and how we do it. And one of the areas that more noticeably has embodied technology in its processes is the arts. Technology provides artists with hundreds of new sources to inspire their work and create outstanding pieces of art that challenge our understanding.
An exceptional example of that evolution in the arts is the project of Antonin Fourneau, 'Water Light Graffiti', which boosts the concept of Street Art to a new level. It consists of a surface made of thousands of LED that light up by the contact of water. You can use a paintbrush, a water atomizer, your fingers or anything damp to sketch a brightness messages or just to draw. It is a wall created with the purpose of giving people a chance to communicate and share magically in the city. Water Light Graffiti is a wall for ephemeral messages in the urban space without deterioration.
After several tries, prototypes and material improvements, Water Light Graffiti took finally place in a public space the last month of July. For a few days, the inhabitants of Poitiers could discover and try Water Light Graffiti with the artist, the Digitalarte Artlab team, who worked with Antonin Fourneau on the project, and Painthouse, a graffiti collective invited for demonstration.
