John Seabrook wrote a great article about the new Revson Fountain in last week's New Yorker. This video on their blog shows the sad decline of the original Revson Fountain...from its starring role in The Producers (I never saw that fountain doing ANYTHING like this) to its sad little cameo in Sweet Home Alabama. Make sure you see the most recent performance at the end of the video--as part of the massive renovation of Lincoln Center, the fountain was redesigned by WET (Water Entertainment Technologies) Design, the leader in liquid architecture. Their work includes the Fountains of Bellagio in Vegas and the Dubai Fountain, which opened in May and is the world's largest fountain and features blasts up to fifty stories high! In New York, their work can be seen at the Brooklyn Museum and Columbus Circle.
