This week marks the last week to check out the Rain Room, an installation currently up at MoMA PS1 as part of the exhibition EXPO 1: New York.
The installation feature a constant downpour of rain, but promises that you won’t get wet. The room senses the presence of visitors, immediately ceasing the flow of water wherever a person is detected. rAndom International is the studio behind the interactive piece.
Check out their CreativeMornings/London talk from last June here.
The Rain Room is a hundred square meter field of falling water that you can walk through—without getting wet. Responding to human motion, the downpour pauses when it detects a visitor, allowing attendees of the exhibit to experience controlling the rain.
The installation is the work of rAndom International, a studio based out of Chelsea, London. The studio focuses on the intersection of art and technology, creating amazing pieces that come alive through audience interaction.
The installation opened at MoMA PS1 May 12th, and will be up until July 28th. Find out more about it here.
Interaction designer Stuart Wood spoke at our London event this past June, when we had our first themed month centered around Arts + Technology.
The speaker at December’s CreativeMornings/Edmonton was Grant Skinner, an internationally recognized leader in the field of rich interactive experiences. His body of work spans experimental interaction, applications, games, websites, installations, embedded devices, and mobile, with a recent focus on projects that span multiple environments. Grant fuses his experience with design, user experience, development, and business with a driving creativity to produce projects that push the boundaries of interactive technologies.
Aptly titled “Adventures in HTML5,” in this talk, Grant speaks on spearheading the development of the CreateJS suite of open source libraries and tools for building rich interactive content using modern web standards. AA great watch for developers, designers, and everyone in between.
A huge hate tip to Bernie Roessler for videography work.
In this CreativeMornings/LosAngeles talk, Victoria Davis of Space Dog Books talks about how illustration is far from dead and the importance for artists and designers to embrace new technology. Dabbling in the overlap between arts and tech, Victoria works on interactive books for the iPad, referring to them as what is essentially “Harry Potter’s newspaper.”
A huge hat tip to Media Temple for sponsoring and 722 Figueroa for hosting.

“Future Self” is the title of the piece, and this is a video which follows the process behind its creation. The work has been made by the creative collaboration rAndom International and commissioned by MADE, a gallery/working studio in Berlin.
It also features composer Max Richter and choreographer Wayne McGregor who both contribute to the piece by providing an interpretation through music and through a performative dance piece.
rAndom International is a London-based studio that creates artworks and installations that explore behavior and interaction, often using light and movement. Their seamless integration of technology and art make them a perfect choice for this month’s theme
CreativeMornings, and Stuart Wood and Florian Ortkras will be speaking
Friday, June 29 at The Sanderson hotel In London.
