Acclaimed (and infamous) designer duo Sagmeister & Walsh choose The Pyte Foundry’s Gyrator and Alias’ Harbour for this life affirming mural located in Aspern Seestadt, one of Europe’s largest urban development projects in the northeast of Vienna.

From the designers’ website:

For the development’s Beatification project, we were invited to design a mural spanning the 400m2 wall along the Asperner Seepark. Our goal was to turn a gray wall into a work that can be enjoyed on different levels. We wanted to create something with a connection to water both physically and metaphorically, so we used a combination of visuals & writing. You can perceive the mural through color and shape, or you can walk the entire length and read about humanity’s relationship with water.
