Waterfall on the Audi R8 | Digital Waterfalls with Projection Mapping
Nature is a beautiful thing, and it turns out, you can get a piece of it with teamLab’s amazing waterfall projection mapping installations. The Japanese Studio designed a series of wonderful exhibits showcasing digitally projection mapped waterfalls. For the video of their installation "Waterfall on the Audi R8" click here.
Their most recent installation, entitled Universe of Water Particles Under Satellite’s Gravity is a combination of a giant model of the ALOS-2 satellite and a breathtaking waterfall simulation rendered in unbelievable detail. teamLab uses their own custom tuned physics engine to simulate thousands of water droplets falling and interacting with each other before reaching the satellite and evaporating away. According to teamLab, only 0.1% of the water particles from the simulation are selected and rendered with lines drawn between particles and the satellite. In their own words:
“In traditional Japanese painting, oceans, rivers and bodies of water are expressed as a curvilinear series of lines. These lines give the impression of life, as though water itself were a living creature.”
The mesmerizing piece is featured at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.
