Deus Ex Machina

Deus Ex Machina is a large scale swing set with a computer controlled interactive water plane, capable of making shapes and text. Using water released from solenoid valves, a plane is created in front of the swing rider, a sensor tells the machine the rider's position as shapes and messages descend around/in the rider's path.
