Each tower is illuminated from within on three sides by approximately 70 color-changing Color Kinetics LED lighting fixtures per tower, while the fourth side features opposing Barco LED display screens. At night, some of the videos are replaced by images of nature or solid colors.[3] Also at night, the other three sides of the fountain display changing colors.[40] The outer Color Kinetics surfaces randomly display the translucent glow of one of eight colors along with each of the inner opposing faces.[3] As a video sculpture with a variety of cascade and water spout fountain modes, the sculpture is a fluid, dynamic evolving artwork.[29]
[edit]Fountain
The drainage system for the water shooting into the reflecting pool uses end-to-end drainage slits in lieu of central drains.
The cascading water falls towards grating.
Crown Fountain has both slits and a grate for drainage (pictured above right) to drain the 11,520 US gal (43,608 l; 9,592 imp gal) of water per minute.[52] When the videos are not on the front of the tower, water cascades down each of the facades. The water is filtered, pumped and recirculated through the fountain. Dual pump rooms below each tower draw water from a reservoir beneath the reflecting pool. There are 12 mechanical pumps that are regulated from a control room in the underground parking garage beneath the south tower of the fountain.[41][53] The water in the reflecting pool has a depth of about .33 centimetres (0.13 in).[54]
