from february 26 to march 1st 2015, passersby the flood channel of the netherland’s river ijssel can experience something incredible seemingly hovering in the dutch skies — the latest artwork by daan roosegaarde. ‘waterlicht’ — described by first visitors as the ‘the northern light of the netherlands’ — comprises undulating lines of light spreading across a site of over 4 acres. the collaboration between studio roosegaarde and the dutch water board rhine and ijssel materializes as ‘a combination of awareness and a dreamscape’, as described by the dutch artist and innovator. ‘by adding — aside from the latest LED-technology — experience and perception, we create a virtual flood.’
