Wired: King of the Fountains, David Bracey

  • Jay Brooks
Wired commissioned Jay Brooks to photograph fountain maestro David Bracey getting appropriately wet in the fountain in Granary Square in London’s Kings Cross.

Bracey is the director of The Fountain Workshop, a London based company that has created cutting edge fountains bringing joy, excitement and wet feet to public spaces around Britain and across the world. Their commissions can be seen in a number of British cities as well as, amongst others, Copenhagen and the UAE. The latest commission is the gamification of the fountains in Granary Square. The 1080 water jets have been programmed to play the classic arcade game Snake using a smartphone app. Playtime is between 5pm and 9pm if you fancy an early evening soaking.
