strobe fountain
illusion - seeing motion

At this exhibit, a small spray of water can be observed beneath a flashing strobe light which allows visitors to see a "frozen" S-shaped pattern. In normal light only a blur of water droplets is visible, but when the strobe is flashing, the visitor can see interesting stroboscopic effects.
