Kinetic Rain is a mobile sculpture that simulates the rain at Changi Airport in Singapore

I have read on the Internet that Changi, he singapore airportIt is very modern and full of attractions, including the impressive cleanliness of its facilities that also include swimming pool, showers, computers with free Internet or cinema. Changi is 20 kilometers northeast of the center of Singapore, at the east end of the island. Singapore is the Asian tiger, a city, island and country that with almost 5 million inhabitants It has become a worldwide icon. Together with Bangkok and Hong Kong, Singapore is currently one of the attractions of Southeast Asia.

In the video that illustrates the article, and that we have seen in Microsiervos, you can see a fascinating sculpture that has been installed in that airport. Is about Kinetic Rain and take advantage of all the current robotic technologies to achieve beautiful effects and that have to be spectacular live. The sculpture is composed of 1,216 drops made of bronze that hang from fine threads and that with the motors included in the support, make the drops rise and fall. The effect is much more spectacular when the software used is started by making the motors, in a coordinated way, make it easier for the drops to play in space creating a hypnotic result.

Every time we are going to see more this type of works that combine art and technology. What makes me weirder to understand is that they are located in an airport, a place where beyond the attractiveness of airplanes I find it difficult to consider it as a place to visit and also appreciate works of art.

In this video you can see the authors explaining the project. It is in English and includes English subtitles:
