Neato! A fountain in Osaka Station City “prints” designs with water.

I think someone in my year at uni did a project based on this principle. I only understand it now I see this video! Very cool.

Final glimpse of the many things that went on at the Southbank this weekend celebrating the Festival of Britain. I love how the children play with the water feature, the colour added to the lovely National Theatre and its secret garden on the roof terrace. Very nice!

MÖBIUS -
Federation Square
A collaborative stop motion sculpture
Twenty-one large triangles animated by Melbourne, throughout Federation Square.
MÖBIUS is a sculpture that can be configured into many cyclical patterns and behave
as though it is eating itself, whilst sinking into the ground.

The result is an optical illusion and a time-lapse of people interacting with the
sculpture and moving through Melbourne’s landmark location throughout the day.
MÖBIUS was animated over two weeks Friday, Saturday & Sunday
between the 6th and 20th of May 2011.

“FLYLIGHT is an interactive light installation by Studio DRIFT composed of 160 glass tubes and based on group behaviour of animals. The behaviour of each individual light has not been programmed, but is dependent on the DNA that has been given to the group. It reacts to the viewer as if it were a flock of starlings or a school of fish.”
