::LIKE CHINESE WATER TORTURE, ONLY GERMAN. AND ORGASMIC. ::

The exact opposite of Pipedream, Bitfall is a curtain of controlled drips which form an image as they fall.


From the Babel Fish translation:

"The construction fastened to the cover of the area consists of 128 nozzles, which discharge individual water drops by means of single solenoid valves. A computer program synchronizes the single solenoid valves in such a way that the water drops in their whole, falling to soil, result in a freely definable bit-map sample. A catchment basin collects the water structures disintegrating. By way of a pump the water is continual supplied to the valve construction, so that a closed cycle results."

Awesome.

"Catchment basin." I like that.
