Rainworks is what Peregrine Church is calling the series of invisible street art pieces littering Seattle, that are invisible most of the time but appear out of nowhere once it starts to rain. Church achieves the effect using superhydrophobic coatings, a technology inspired by the waterproofing found on lotus leaves and the feet of geckos. Superhydrophobic coatings are materials that can make any surface completely water repellent. Church sprays concrete pavements around Seattle with a superhydrophobic spray called "Always Dry" using large stencils that he creates. 24 hours later the sections of the pavement sprayed are completely waterproof. When it starts to rain, the wet concrete pavement darkens in color but the sections covered in the coating remain light colored and dry, revealing Church's art. Each rainwork lasts about four months to a year, depending on the amount of foot traffic it has to endure.

Civil Engineering application: Can this be used for useful pavement markings on roads or sidewalks when it rains? Because there are issues of durability, could this be used for temporary applications?

New rainwork: worry is a misuse of the imagination. It really is, though.
