Zaragoza World Expo digital water walls

Looks like Zaragoza, Spain’s 2008 World Expo won’t be lacking of any creative ideas, according to the official announcement, there would be a displays of technology with an MIT-designed “digital water pavilion” greeting visitors at the entrance.

The pavilion looks to be impressive enough, boasting computer-controlled walls of water that can display scrolling text or images, or automatically form a doorway when it detects a person approaching.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology architects who developed the idea say it’s a boundary-pushing artistic statement, in the tradition of the Crystal Palace and White City of long-ago world’s fairs. Current estimated cost is about $3 million.

The expo is not due until next year, hopefully they build that pavilion as proposed. Would be something really unique.
