Kinetic Rain at Changi International Airport

Kinetic Rain at Changi International Airport, Singapore

Kinetic Rain is a moving sculpture that was installed in early July 2012 in the Departure-Check-in hall of Terminal 1 of Singapore's Changi Airport as part of that terminal's refurbishment. Spanning an area of 75 square meters (810 sq ft) and a height of 7.3 meters (24 ft), it has been billed as the world's largest kinetic sculpture.

The centerpiece of the newly-renovated Terminal 1, Kinetic Rain is the world's largest kinetic sculpture. 1,216 raindrops made of aluminium and highly polished copper, controlled by 1,216 individual motors, swirl and dance to depict the joy of travel.It is the first of many experiences you will enjoy, including more shopping and dining, tropical theme gardens and lantern feature walls.

The installation consists of two separate segments, installed several meters apart. Computer-controlled motors attached to the wires can move each raindrop up and down independently, and thereby make the elements form elaborate moving shapes. The installation is programmed to make the elements morph into 16 different shapes during a 15-minute loop, including flight-related shapes such as airplanes, kites or hot air balloons.

Kinetic Rain was created over a period of two years by artists, animators and programmers from the German design firm Art+Com. Its cost has not been made public. 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".
