Kinetic rain
Featuring at Changi airport in Singapore, this project was a real eye catcher. Kinetic rain is an incredible work of art designed by Art+Com for Terminal 1. The sculpture consists of two parts that have been installed above the two central escalators in the airport.
The symmetrical parts are each composed of 608 droplets of lightweight copper covered aluminium; each individual drop is connected to a computer controlled motor with an incredibly thin steel wire, which are then moved independently by said motor creating sequences of abstract and elaborate moving shapes
The entire piece of art takes part in a powerful fifteen minute choreography session. Because of the central location of ‘Kinetic Rain’ the sculpture can be seen from all different angles, whether above, below or from the side, the visual experience of the viewer is completely different depending on the perspective.
According to Art+Com, the sculpture "aims to be a source of identity for its location, and provides a moment for passengers to contemplate and reflect".
