Water Light GraffitiYou may think that mixing water and electricity is a no no, but for French artist <a href="http://atocorp.free.fr/">Antonin Fourneau</a> it’s a recipe for art. Fourneau wowed us last summer with his <a href="http://inhabitat.com/water-light-graffiti-led-wall-in-france-needs-only-water-to-paint-a-picture/">LED Water Light Graffiti installation</a>, which lights up when it's exposed to water - and the traveling installation just made its NYC debut last week at the GROHE showroom during <a href="http://www.core77.com/nydesignweek/default2013.asp">New York Design Week</a>. Click through the gallery below to check out this fun piece of interactive art in action.1
