At the beginning of this month, the interactive fountain installation I designed was showcased at TEDxBrainport. People could try out my prototype and other cool experiences between the talks. It was a daunting task to get everything ready and I was quite anxious about every possible scenario I could imagine going wrong. But everything went well. It was a great day and I feel grateful for the opportunity.
I recorded some videos during the day, and edited it into a small compilation. Above is the result in case you want to get a quick impression of people interacting with my design during the event. Also, Karel Tsang wrote a cool article on my fountain design if you want to read more.

Marielle – WOW!! What a stunning piece. Complex mechanics I cannot even begin to imagine. I am so glad that you shared this with us all. Your creativity knows no bounds!!

Yeah it was quite a challenge. I programmed everything myself; the fountains are on the market and they behave the way you program them. But mostly they are used quite statically

Me too! So far I only tested it on a couple of users, so it was quite fun to see so many people interact with it (I loved the guy walking backward haha)

This is so cool! Congrats! People were even brave enough to go through with their cell phones! ;)
This installation is such a great conversation piece. I loved seeing everyone’s reactions as they went through…

haha I know, and also with complete laptops in backpacks etc. I was terrified the whole time that somehow my installation would malfunction. I think I was more nervous than they were.
