Working with NASA contractors <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.madeinspace.us%2F" target="_blank" target="_blank">Made in Space</a>'s technology, Gever can 3D print human laughter to create sculptures. "It is a journey from voice to code, and from code to something tangible and artistic," he told CNN.

Gever's artistic practice is constantly evolving. In 2015 one of his big projects was "Waterdancer," described as a 3D liquid simulation featuring a dancer whose body seems to be made of water.<br />

The artist is often inspired by the destructive impact humans can have on the environment. In this piece he was able to achieve a realistic image of the mushroom cloud of an exploding nuclear bomb through a digital rendering of each explosion.

Gever's waterdancers can also be built in stainless steel. For the Israeli artist it is a way to immortalize human movement. "I want to use this technology to produce art through movement...It can help dancers interact with their audience in another way," Gever told CNN.

Next year the artist aims to project a giant 3D illusion of a wall of water and his waterdancers onto the facade of the Karlsruhe Palace, in Germany.

Gever's "Waterfall" captures the natural phenomenon of flowing water. For the artist, it preserves the intensity of seeing the occurrence in real-time.
