Kinetic Rain by ART+COM is a distinct art project installed above two
escalators in Terminal 1 at the Singapore Airport. This project is
composed of 608 copper-covered aluminum rain droplets that are held up
by steel rods.
A motor powered by a computer was placed in the ceiling to make these
droplets appear to be floating above the escalators. The computer has
the droplets on a 15-minute pattern where they move back and forth
together simultaneously.
Since the 1950s, kinetic art has been a prevalent art form, and with
advanced computer technology three-dimensional kinetic sculptures are
rising in popularity. They consist of moving parts that are controlled
by some form of motor. This art installation is a beautiful addition to
the busy airport.
