I'm walking in the rain !



The rain is often synonym of getting wet or staying at home, but an impressive art installation in London is going to give us the chance to walk under a rain storm without getting wet.  This innovative experiment tries to combine art and technology, and it really works. 

The “Rain Room”, created by the art studio Random International, simulates a rain storm where visitors can walk right through the entire room, more than 1.000 square feet, without being touched by the water, almost 220 gallons continuously recycled. This interactive project uses several 3D cameras to perceive human’s movement inside the room. As the cameras detect some movement, the rain streams on and off respectively; leaving people completely dry.  
Many of us relate art with paintings in a Museum or sculptures in some opening space, but nowadays our mind is getting used to new kind of art expressions. And as we are in a technological era, we have to start seeing technology as a demonstration of art.
