Created by Antonin Fourneau at Digitalarti Artlab in Paris, the [LED light wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hue-play-wall-washer) was constructed so that it would respond to water. The public was able to create [light graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-gallery) by "painting" the wall with water. People used hands, brushes, water guns and atomizers to interact with the project. The Water Light Graffiti Wall was on display from July 22nd to July 24, 2012, in Paris and was a huge success. Often, people don't have time to think creatively in the modern world. Public art, especially when it is interactive, provides people with the chance to think creatively again. Not only does it get people in a creative mind set, it also beautifies public areas where there might otherwise be advertisements. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive Public Art:** There is an opportunity to create more interactive public art installations that encourage creativity and beautify public spaces. - **Water-responsive Technology:** Water-activated technology can be further explored and developed for a variety of applications beyond art installations, such as interactive advertising or educational displays. - **Graffiti-inspired Design:** Designers can draw inspiration from graffiti art and create products or experiences that incorporate the same artistic style and interactive elements. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can create more immersive and interactive installations that engage public spaces. - **Technology:** The technology industry can explore and develop water-activated technology for a variety of applications. - **Marketing and Advertising:** The marketing and advertising industry can explore more interactive and creative approaches to advertising that engage audiences through interactive public displays. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Creativity Home Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-interactive-wall.md) - [Interactive Light Experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/every-wall-is-a-door.md) - [Illuminating Park Installation Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterfront-park.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Voice-Activated Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraimic.md) - [Sparkling Water Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sara-shakeel.md) - [Water Movement Sculptural Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inner-waves.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Dynamic Interactive Lighting Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zava.md)
