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.
