Cowies Hill is now home to an extraordinary sight: A mesmerizing projection-mapping installation adorning the iconic water tower, Flow, adds a touch of modern artistry, breathing life into the towering structure with a symphony of light and color.
The unique contours of the water tower create a canvas unlike any other. As dusk descends, the the tower becomes a dynamic display as vibrant projections cascade and swirl, transforming the structure into a captivating spectacle.
Content is carefully choreographed to evoke the essence of water – from gentle ripples to powerful torrents – creating an ever-changing symphony of light and motion.
CORE handles the real-time 3D projection mapping (including projector management and monitoring) and pixel mapping of supporting wash lighting fixtures, as well as the daily and seasonal content rhythms.
Content was created in house with a variety of techniques using high-resolution ultra-slow-motion camera setups.
A 1:10 scale prototype was built in our studio to assess projector placement and ensure projection mapping was accurate.
