Water Printer

I love technology like this water printer. I love when the calculated, analytical precision of computers and programming come together with something organic and beautiful. This water printer is the epitome of that juxtaposition between the digital and the organic. As I watched the youtube video of this fountain for the first time I kept thinking of it like the beading loom I used to have as a kid. With the loom I could create really intricate designs one line of beads at a time the same way that the water printer creates designs by dropping each line of water with a different pattern of water droplets and no water. These kinds of devices help to push the idea that technology and computers can create something beautiful and artistic.
