Although I&#8217;ve never got the chance to visit this work in-person, I still really enjoy this work. Walking through rain without getting wet seems to gives the visitor a sense of control over rain. The experience of walking in the rain is replicated in an indoor space can encourage some interesting reflection on our relationship with technology and environment.<\/p>\n<p>Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sktrJ8R0Wzo\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sktrJ8R0Wzo\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rain Room by Random International at MoMA New York\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sktrJ8R0Wzo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Additional Information: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digiart21.org\/art\/rain-room\">http:\/\/www.digiart21.org\/art\/rain-room\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Rain Room<\/em> is equipped with 3D motion sensors that track movement underneath the water valves. When it senses a person walking inside the piece, the sensors turn off the water valves for the area around that person. This effectively creates a circle with no rainfall centered on that person, which follows them as they move around the piece.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/unframed.lacma.org\/2015\/10\/28\/rain-room-interview-random-international\">artists<\/a>, &#8220;the idea originated in a three-second spark that came up during a discussion where we had looked at a (too) complicated process of printing information with water onto very large hydrochromic surfaces. It seemed that we somehow shared a curiosity to see how it would feel to be immersed in a rainstorm that wouldn\u2019t physically affect you. So, we just knew, we had to do this. &#8221; It then took four years of research and development and support from Stuart and Maxine Frankel and their Art Foundation to develop and build the first <em>Rain Room<\/em>, which was shown at the Barbican in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The work I selected is Rain Room by Random International.
