A 20m tall abstract, interactive, digital waterfall. Responds to peoples movements and sounds. An artwork commissioned by Coca-Cola Latin America.

Technical information

Cascada consists of realistic 3D fluid simulations – modeled physically accurate, but rendered highly abstract - pouring from 5 storeys high mimicking a giant waterfall. The waterfall reacts to visitors movements and responds to audio input when live bands perform in the venue. Visitors are tracked using a stereoscopic camera, and they can play with the virtual flow as if it were real.
