Bend the Water

A projected water surface controlled by gestures alone: point, and the water parts to reveal the hidden world beneath.

Can you find the mystery in the depths?

"Bend the Water" is an interactive media installation that brings a projected water surface to life through gesture control. By simply pointing, visitors part the water and reveal a hidden underworld of animated creatures and objects waiting to be discovered.

The installation is built in TouchDesigner and reads gestures through an ordinary webcam — no specialist hardware required, just a projector and a dark surface. The concept scales freely and adapts to its context: from pure entertainment at a city festival to creative knowledge communication in museums and exhibitions.

On 18 and 19 June 2026 we showed "Bend the Water" at the Serious Play Conference at KUZ in Mainz.

A city festival, a museum night, a corporate event — tell us
about your site and your occasion, and we will tell you what it
could become.
