Watch / "Kinetic Rain" Changi Airport Singapore

In the course of refurbishment works ART+COM was commissioned to create a signature art installation for the Departure-Check in hall of Terminal 1 at Singapore Airport. "Kinetic Rain" is composed of two parts, each consisting of 608 rain drops made of lightweight aluminum covered with copper. Suspended from thin steel ropes above the two opposing escalators, each droplet is moved precisely and seemingly floating by a computer-controlled motor hidden in the halls ceiling. The drops follow a 15-monute, computationally designed choreography where to two parts move together in unison, sometimes mirroring, sometimes complementing, and sometimes responding to each other. 

Beautiful!
