That was extremely trippy and I wouldnt be surprised if they made one of these to be capable of playing a normal video some how. And I actually always have had an idea of doing something similar to this but wasnt quite sure how to do it. Its all pretty simple to do, come to think of it, just it has never been thought of being made because its so useless. Screw finding a cure for cancer, lets donate money into making a water droplet advertisement machine.
Ive seen this before, only it was 20 dudes pissing off the side of a cliff. I especially liked how they repeated all the words for the dyslexic viewers.
Actually, this is an American invention& Jeep uses it every year at the auto shows to impress their crowd, and one of their engineers came up with this.
This is a fountain from Canal City in Fukuoka, Japan. About every two months they change the fountains there. When I left university there it was synced to a fantasia song. It says the following in Japanese: Welcome-Canal-City-Hakata (district in Fukuoka).
Theres an identical one in Raffles City, Singapore. Theres another awesome fountain I saw there in 2003 and 2005. Look up Raffles City Fountain on YouTube.

Its made by Julius Popp and exists already a couple of years making a tour around the world as it seems (it has been also in moma nyc already). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AICq53U3dl8
Theres a few fountains like this at the Liquidity lounge inside the Luxor in Las Vegas. They add color-changing lights to the mix too, its pretty sweet.
Its not Japanese. It was developed by a German artist. I forget his name but hes on youtube. check him out. apparently this thing is computer controlled and the computer has an internet connection and a simple program that gets random words from RSS news feeds and turns them into these water typographs.

Nice creation! Humans using their God given minds in a positive way. The results are beautiful! Its another reason to praise Jesus Christ who gave us the ability to enjoy life, and enjoy it more abundantly!
This is not new and not Jap/Chinese. American car companies (Chyrsler / Jeep) have been using this for years at car shows / events. Jesus is dead and so is your pathetic religion. The power of science and knowledge is all we need!!
Its not a Japanese, American or German invention. The idea of a graphical fountain was first proposed by Jacob Eros, a British engineer living in Paris between the first and second world wars; he thought it would be a good way of animating porn. The first working example was made by the Italian branch of BMW, in the late 50s. It was used to advertise the nutritional content of marrows, during the spaghetti famine of 62. I read it on Wikipedia, it must be true.
