# Video Projection Water Screens The Max Hattler Art Installation Plays Films on a Hydro-Screen By Cody Turner | Published 2012-09-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-hattler1 References: [vimeo](https://vimeo.com/49029399) & [maxhattler](http://www.maxhattler.com/) Award-winning visual artist Max Hattler is currently showcasing his never-before-seen film on a very interesting type of screen. Instead of using a regular white backdrop to project his film, Hattler is showcasing his work on a [giant screen of water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s7-ultra-pro). If you go to the Kings Cross Filling Station on the Regent Canal, you will be able to view Hattler's [public art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow). This is the first time a hydro-screen has been used to project video graphics. The water screen measures in at 10x15 meters and creates a stunning effect due to the amplification of the light on the water. The video displays varying abstract shapes that play out in a circus of movements and colors, all of which are set to a lovely audio track.
