Peak District, UK. 23rd September, 2017. WATERLICHT, an ambitious and large-scale digital installation by Dutch Designer, Daan Roosegaarde lit up the v shaped valley of Winnats Pass that acts as a gateway into Castleton and the Hope Valley. WATERLICHT virtually flooded Winnats Pass with light and smoke to reveal the geological formations of the site and its history as a valley once submerged under a tropical sea.

Peak District, UK. 23rd September, 2017. WATERLICHT, an ambitious and large-scale digital installation by Dutch Designer, Daan Roosegaarde lit up the v shaped valley of Winnats Pass that acts as a gateway into Castleton and the Hope Valley. WATERLICHT virtually flooded Winnats Pass with light and smoke to reveal the geological formations of the site and its history as a valley once submerged under a tropical sea. Stretching back into the times of the Ice Age, when glacial rivers carved the landscape, WATERLICHT visualised how high the water level could reach without human intervention. Created using the latest LED technology, software and lenses, audiences were able to see historical water levels. The free event was attended by thousands of spectators of all ages.
