Water Light Graffiti Installation | Antonin Fourneau Sustainably Leaving a Mark on the City
During his residency at the Digitalarti Artlab in Paris, Antonin Fourneau realized a spectacular and poetic installation that manages to surprise and engage the passer-by in a refreshing way. With his Water Light Graffiti project, the French artist built an LED-based surface that reacts to water, creating light patterns and effects that allow anybody to create fascinating paintings on the street.
Installed in Poitiers in July, the wall was met with great enthusiasm by people of all ages, tapping into that kind of playful interaction only great public art can unlock. Apart from the sheer awe inspired by the possibility of painting with light, it is worth mentioning that – while allowing anybody to express themselves in a public space – with its natural graffiti approach, the work maintains a sustainable impact on the environment in which it sits.
This work is reminiscent of other remarkable endeavours with comparable effects – albeit utilizing different technology – like the famous light projections by Graffiti Research Lab and eco-friendly ad agency Green Graffiti.

Peoples Meeting Dome | Kristoffer Tejlgaard & Benny Jepsen
To generate ideas for future housing, the architects adapting the triangular composition of a standard dome to enclose a kitchen, bar, dining area and stage for a temporary installation.
By using different sized triangular frames with both spherical and perpendicular surfaces, a new lattice form was birthed from that of a traditional geodesic dome. The result is a method of construction that allows surfaces to be extruded, scaled, pushed and pulled while maintaining logic.
Through this altered composition, small niches and crevices opened. Custom-made steel footings connect the wooden frame, made of locally-sourced pine. Steel nodes were made to fit standard rafter sizes of 2x4 and 3x6 inch timber, making the whole design movable and adaptable.
The façade's curved surfaces are covered with recycled wood panels, creating opaque faces. Perpendicular surfaces made of PVC film allow light to enter while opening views to the outside. The project was commissioned by BL (Denmark Public Housing) for the Peoples Meeting in Denmark.
