Through projection mapping technology, the historic Seaholm Intake Facility façade will transform into a canvas of art, light, and motion. WaterWork, an immersive art experience by The Trail Conservancy and Design Austin, is a first-of-its-kind projection that celebrates the dynamic between the urban environment and the natural landscape and the many talents of Austin’s creative community.

Artists and designers were asked to create short videos exploring the city’s coexistence with nature in the heart of downtown. The immersive display will debut at dusk on Thursday, September 12, and Tuesday, September 17.
