Kinetic Rain by ART+COM

You may soak in Kinetic Rain at Changi International Airport Terminal 1, Singapore, and not get wet.



Truth be told, this art installation by ART+COM "weighs 24 tonnes in total, and consists of 1,216 motors, each animating a single copper-coated droplet, spread in two fields. The custom software enables precise and synchronised movement across the whole space, respecting the maximum acceleration and speed limitations of the hardware." 



Click on the the following video by kidowmer and be refreshed by the fluid movement of Kinetic Rain:-

About ART+COM:
ART+COM Art creates media sculptures and installations that impact on their respective locations, giving them an identity beyond architecture and function. These works make use of new media for expression and are computationally charged with complex behaviour and coded meanings. Our art projects are both commissioned for public space, exhibitions and collections, and self-commissioned.
