“Changi Airport Group asked us to create an artwork representative of the refurbished terminal. The installation responds to the theme of Singapore being the ‘Tropical City,’ where rain is very much a part of the city’s tropical climate. We developed <i>Kinetic Rain</i>, which has been undulating above Terminal One’s central escalators since 2012. Each symmetrical element is composed of 608 copper-plated aluminum drops connected by steel wires to computer-controlled motors that raise and lower them with precision. The two elements move in dialogue through a fifteen-minute animated sequence, evolving from abstract to figurative 3-D forms. At times the parts move in unison; at others, they follow each other.”
