由艺术家Matthias Oostrik创作的灯光装置Een Spoor van Water（水的足迹）今天在荷兰阿森市的一座新铁路天桥上揭幕。每一辆经过的火车都会激活一个独特的灯光组合，并融入下面的铺装和植物中。瀑布般的光线从混凝土上坠落，蜿蜒穿过杂草丛生的斜坡。坐落在一条历史悠久的小溪垫层中，这件艺术品将自然的水流与该地当代的城市交通流联系在一起。灯光装置是一系列连接城市与绿色和历史环境的艺术项目的大结局，也是Matthias Oostrik在这个项目中的第二件作品。

The light installation Een Spoor van Water (A Trail of Water) by artist Matthias Oostrik was unveiled today in a new railway overpass in the Dutch city of Assen. Each passing train activates a unique light composition, incorporated into the paving and planting below. A waterfall of light that crashes down over its concrete and meanders through its overgrown slopes. Situated in a historic creek bedding, the artwork connects the natural flow of water to the site's contemporary, urban traffic flows. The light installation is the grand conclusion of a series of art projects connecting the city to its green and historic surroundings and the second work of Matthias Oostrik within this program.

Matthias的艺术作品使人与周围环境之间建立了新的和不寻常的联系。利用数字技术，他的纪念性装置以不断变化的光线、视频或声音回应参观者，让参观者重新塑造他们的环境。他在公共空间的作品也具有功能性，它们有助于增强安全感，并被可以持久存在。

Matthias' artworks enable new and unusual connections between people and their surroundings. Using digital technology, his monumental installations respond to visitors with changing light, video, or sound, allowing visitors to re-shape their environment. His works in public space are also functional. They contribute to a sense of security and are designed to last.

他的作品中一个较早且广受好评的例子是位于阿姆斯特丹人行通道的Bijlmer Moodwall（2009）。这个24米长的装置以有节奏的光影模式对游客做出反应，将阴暗的隧道变成了一个舒适的地方。在De Assen van Assen(2018)，路人也会激活俏皮的光线条纹，与他们一起移动。一条水的足迹是由冲过天桥的火车触发的。在下面经过的自行车和行人可以欣赏到迷人的光瀑。

An early and well-received example of his work is the Bijlmer Moodwall (2009), located in a pedestrian passage in Amsterdam. This 24-meter-long installation reacts to visitors with rhythmic light patterns, which turn the shady tunnel into a pleasant place to be. At De Assen van Assen (2018), passers-by also activate playful streaks of light that move alongside them. A Trail of Water is triggered by the trains rushing across the overpass. Cyclists and pedestrians passing below can enjoy the enchanting waterfall of light.

一条水迹不仅连接了不同的交通流。它还触及到阿森市的历史。摆动的光潮呼应的是历史上曾经在这里流经的Drentsche Aa山谷的小溪。

A Trail of Water not only connects the different traffic flows. It also touches on the history of the city of Assen. The oscillating tides of light refer to the historic brooks that used to run here in the valley of the Drentsche Aa.

Matthias的灵感还来自于更实际的问题。例如，地下通道的路堤会被暗淡的H形铺路砖所覆盖。马蒂亚斯没有覆盖或更换这些砖块，而是将这些砖块融入到斜角的构图中，创造出层层叠叠的光影幻觉。为了实现这一目标，500块铺路砖被安装了定制设计的LED模块。

Matthias was also inspired by more practical matters. For example, the embankment of the underpass would be covered with dull H-shaped paving blocks. Instead of covering or replacing these, Matthias incorporated the blocks in an oblique and angular composition, creating the illusion of cascading light. To achieve this, 500 of the blocks were fitted with custom-designed LED-modules.
