The article is written with language which says the project is complete, as if the paintings are already in place. This whole thing looks fake to me.

Taking 2 photos of the same place with just slightly different positions helps alot even if it is still WIP. If you wanna share a vision do it right.

Rainworks is used in water-resist artwork. It's a colourless, super-hydrophobic coating that leaves "dry" patches wherever it's sprayed. These art pieces in S. Korea will be done with paints that are hydrochromic. Given hydrochromics are opaque until they get wet, what they're probably planning on doing is laying down the artwork first -- with actual paint in bright, vivid colours -- and then placing a layer of asphalt-coloured hydrochromic paint over them. When it rains, this top coat will become transparent, revealing the bright images underneath. Though it's entirely possible Pantone has created for them paints that really do show up/change colour when wet, similar to thermochromic ink and paint. We really won't know until the project is actually underway.

Looking forward seeing these, though. If they're actually gonna be painted there. And if I find out wherw in Seoul....
