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.

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.
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.“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.
The designer is at the nexus of technology and the human experience.
