Waterlicht
WATERLICHT is a virtual flood that shows how high the water could reach without human intervention.
WATERLICHT is the dream landscape about the power and poetry of water. WATERLICHT consists of wavy lines of light made with the latest LED technology, software and lenses. As a virtual flood, it shows how high the water could reach without human intervention.
Innovation is a natural part of the DNA of the Dutch landscape through its dikes and creative thinking, yet we almost seem to have forgotten this. WATERLICHT is a powerful and poetic experience to remember.
Originally the artwork was created for the Dutch District Water Board Rijn & IJssel. New WATERLICHT site-specific artworks were created for the Museumplein in Amsterdam with more than 60.000 visitors in 1 night, Nuit Blanche in Paris and UNESCO Schokland, the Netherlands. WATERLICHT will continue its journey to raise awareness about rising water levels.
