He teaches art at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and has done some fabulous things with water art.

I think there is room for sound improvement : the water hitting whatever is down there is making a shower-hitting-the-plastic-bathtub kinda noise. put your fingers in your ears and it's pretty cool to watch.

They showed, during one show, the recognizable symbols used for each of the summer olympic sports, as well as advertising logos.

I've seen something similar in an artmagazine. I think a german artist used it in an interactive installation. (I couldn't find a link, sorry.) There are lots of experiments with alternative "screens". May be not so spectacular like this "water-plotter" but pretty nice. Like projections on steam: http://www.rueneuf.net/Images/steam_butterflies.jpg (This was an interactive group of butterflies which flew away when you tried to "touch" them.)

He built the Graphical Waterfall, then Called “Rainfall”, in 1979 using only a circuit board and a few valves. bio; http://www.uwm.edu/People/pevnick/index1.html The Graphical Waterfall has been shown on four continents in cities such as Paris, London, Geneve, Basel, Frankfurt, Hannover, Johannesburg, Beijing, Bangkok, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angels and many others. In 1995 the “Rainfall” went to Berlin for a major exhibition for artists and designers. Professor Pevnick was very honored when the people at GPJ and Daimler Chrysler asked him to be at the shows for Jeep. http://www.pevnickdesign.com/index1.html The Waterfall was created by Professor Stephen Pevnick who is a Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee.
