Water Printer

A public art installation piece that consists of a canvas hung from the roof of a building, covering the entirety of one of its sides, with a machine attached to it that sprays a programable row of water droplets, line by line. Essentially, it is an inkjet printer with a very low DPI, using water as ink. The machine would print images by slowly traveling down the canvas, spraying a row of water droplets, line by line. Once the image is printed, the machine waits for the water droplets to dry and then travels back up the canvas and prints another image.Individuals can control the imagery produced by the machine using a web app developed in Javascript and PHP, as well as an iPhone app, mockups of which can be seen below.Drawing Creator Prototype (web app)
