Romanian Art collective, Visual Skin, stole the show at this year's Amsterdam Light Festival in January, with their hydro-luminous recreation of the legendary Flying Dutchman ghost ship.
Anchored in front of the ARCAM Amsterdam Centre for Architecture and the Scheepva Art Museum, Visual Skin orchestrated the mesmerizing display by using four large water hoses, old-fashioned stage lights and intricate 3D projection mapping. You know, easy stuff.
17-century nautical folklore has it that the mystical Flying Dutchman can never make port, and is doomed to sail the oceans forever.
Eerily enough, the wind-blown and illuminated water created a constant yet fluttering image that appears to viewers as though it's intangible
Some claim to have seen apparition-like images of the ship. After deliberation and the gathering of these stories, this is the ship they all described.
Pretty incredible, when you think about how they pulled this off.
