Building made from water walls

Boing Boing: "MIT researchers are designing a 'Digital Water Pavillion' for next year's Expo Zaragoza in Spain. The walls of the structure are sheets of water sprayed from suspended pipes. Software-controlled valves enable the valves to be opened and closed with high accuracy to create gaps at very specific locations, forming something like liquid pixels. According to a press release, the liquid surfaces can then become 'a one-bit-deep digital display that continuously scrolls downward.'"

    Can you imagine stage with three walls all composed of water and backlit? That would be such an amazing effect.
