WaterWork

Design Austin and The Trail Conservancy debuted WaterWork, a 3D artwork projected on the historic Seaholm Intake Facility Building and produced by several local artists, on Thursday, September 12 and Tuesday, September 17. WaterWork 2024 was the first use of Seaholm Intake as a large-scale exterior canvas. The immersive display was visible on land and on the water.

The colossal projection also celebrates the many talents and of Austin’s creative community. Design Austin asked artists and designers to create short videos that explore the coexistence of the city with nature in the heart of downtown. WaterWork transformed this iconic building into a dynamic canvas of art, light, and motion projected onto the building’s Art Deco façade.

This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department.


WATERWORK 2024 IS AVAILABLE ON VIMEO THROUGH OCTOBER 11, 2024.
