Sonically timed to a track by Caspro, the work transforms the Seaholm Intake’s architecture into a fluid surface alive with ripples, vivid color shimmers, light trails, and caustic water forms. Inspired by the clarity and motion of spring water from the Edwards Aquifer, the piece uses vivid color and movement to blur the boundary between solid structure and flowing energy.<br /> <br /> WaterWork is a unique, immersive art experience that celebrates the dynamic relationship between Austin’s urban landscape and its cherished natural environment. Presented by Design Austin and The Trail Conservancy, this two-night event transforms the iconic façade of Austin’s historic Seaholm Intake Facility into a vibrant canvas of art, light, and motion. <br /> <br /> Using state-of-the-art projection mapping technology, the Seaholm Waterfront came alive with captivating artworks from fifteen talented Austin artists. Each artist’s work explores and illuminates the vibrant coexistence between Austin’s bustling cityscape and its restorative beauty of natural spaces.<br /> <img src="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14611168/WaterWorks-Night-2-2025-160_1250.jpg" width="1200" height="800" width_o="4500" height_o="3000" src_o="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14611168/WaterWorks-Night-2-2025-160_4500.jpg" data-mid="80374700" border="0" align="left" data-title="1200 — 1250 × 833"data-hi-res="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14611168/WaterWorks-Night-2-2025-160_2500_c.jpg" /><img src="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14611168/WaterWorks-Night-2-2025-163_1250.jpg" width="1200" height="1800" width_o="3000" height_o="4500" src_o="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14611168/WaterWorks-Night-2-2025-163_3000.jpg" data-mid="80374701" border="0" align="left" data-title="1200 — 1250 × 1875"data-hi-res="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14611168/WaterWorks-Night-2-2025-163_2500_c.jpg" /><img src="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14611168/WaterWorks-Night-2-2025-159_1250.jpg" width="1200" height="800" width_o="4500" height_o="3000" src_o="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14611168/WaterWorks-Night-2-2025-159_4500.jpg" data-mid="80374702" border="0" align="left" data-title="1200 — 1250 × 833"data-hi-res="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14611168/WaterWorks-Night-2-2025-159_2500_c.jpg" /> The Water Within is a projection-mapped animation featured as the show closer for WaterWork 2025.

The installation features multiple parallel screens of translucent fabric as staggered surfaces for the video content, allowing the projected light to pass through each layer to the next and simulating slices of a holographic cone for viewers as they pass by. This 3-dimensional experience invites guests to walk between the frames to become immersed in the work and they are provided with unique photographic opportunities to interact and pose with the projected work.<br /> <br /> Exhibited at the Illumaverse, an immersive galactic holiday happening in Austin, TX at dadaLab, produced by Nelda Studios. <br /> <img

By art team MetaCaustics (click to see video samples.<br /> <br /> The installation features multiple parallel screens of translucent fabric as staggered surfaces for the video content, allowing the projected light to pass through each layer to the next and simulating slices of a holographic cone for viewers as they pass by. This 3-dimensional experience facilitates viewing depth above and beneath the creek’s surface through the interplay of water with light.<br /> <br /> Learn more about this year's other artists and installations thanks to the Waterloo Greenway Conservancy. <br /> <br /> Featuring photos by Aaron Wharton. <br /> <img src="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/Melting-Mirrors-by-Metacaustics_horizontal-render_1250.png" width="1200" height="800" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" src_o="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/Melting-Mirrors-by-Metacaustics_horizontal-render_1800.png" data-mid="79500369" border="0" align="left" data-title="1200 — 1250 × 833"data-hi-res="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/Melting-Mirrors-by-Metacaustics_horizontal-render_1750.png" /><img src="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/Melting-Mirrors-by-Metacaustics_vertical-render_1200.png" width="1200" height="1800" width_o="1200" height_o="1800" src_o="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/Melting-Mirrors-by-Metacaustics_vertical-render_1200.png" data-mid="79500370" border="0" align="left" data-title="1200 — 1200 × 1800"/><img src="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-0_1000.png" width="1000" height="1250" width_o="1000" height_o="1250" src_o="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-0_1000.png" data-mid="79652152" border="0" align="left" data-title="1200 (1000) — 1000 × 1250"/><img src="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-1_1250.png" width="1200" height="750" width_o="1600" height_o="1000" src_o="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-1_1600.png" data-mid="79652153" border="0" align="left" data-title="1200 — 1250 × 781"data-hi-res="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-1_1600.png" /><img src="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-2_1250.png" width="1200" height="750" width_o="1600" height_o="1000" src_o="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-2_1600.png" data-mid="79652154" border="0" align="left" data-title="1200 — 1250 × 781"data-hi-res="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-2_1600.png" /><img src="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-3_1250.png" width="1200" height="750" width_o="1600" height_o="1000" src_o="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-3_1600.png" data-mid="79652155" border="0" align="left" data-title="1200 — 1250 × 781"data-hi-res="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-3_1600.png" /><img src="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-4_1250.png" width="1200" height="750" width_o="1600" height_o="1000" src_o="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-4_1600.png" data-mid="79652156" border="0" align="left" data-title="1200 — 1250 × 781"data-hi-res="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-4_1600.png" /><img src="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-5_1250.png" width="1200" height="800" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" src_o="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-5_1500.png" data-mid="79652157" border="0" align="left" data-title="1200 — 1250 × 833"data-hi-res="https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3989/14491503/melting-mirrors_metacaustics_topher-sipes_jasna-boudard-web_res-5_1500.png" /><br /> <br /> Melting Mirrors is a multi-layered video installation, featuring digitally manipulated slow-motion video of the flow and movement of the surface of Waller Creek...
