Simply put, “Water Light Graffiti“, an installation sprung out of DigitalArti Artlab in Paris, was a surface on which passers-by could leave ephemeral messages. More specifically, it was a panel made of thousands of LED lights which are moisture-sensitive, meaning that all it took to sketch a message was a paintbrush, a water atomizer, a water gun, or simply anything damp.
Antonin Fourneau, a french artist, had in sight the objective of creating a surface which allowed for demonstrations of graffiti that didn’t deteriorate the urban space. Thus, for the demonstration that took place in the city of Poitiers between July 22 and 24, the Digitalarti Artlab team invited Painthouse, a graffiti collective, to share its art and messages with the visitants.
