Kinetic Rain - Changi Airport Terminal 1 Departure Hall


You should have read it in our local papers but in case, you miss it....

This is a new sculpture made up of 1,1216 metal droplets in Terminal 1 of Changi Airport in Singapore.

I was there last week to send off my younger sister, who stopped overnight on her way back to Melbourne after holidaying 2 months in Europe and UK.

Each droplet weighs 180g, powered by a motor housed in the ceiling of the departure hall.

The droplets are coated with polished copper to prevent the surface from rusting.

Kinetic Rain morphs into 16 different shapes in a 15 minute loop, ranging from an airplane to a kite, captures the varied aspects of flight.

The sculpture was made by German design firm led by a German based Finnish artist. Officially opens on 18 July 2012 but already operational now.




I took a short video of the kinetic rain in motion, so enjoy....

Cosby's Visit to Spore

Wei and Andrew were in Spore for a night, on their way home after 2 months holiday in Europe and UK.

After dinner, I took them to Marina Bay to take in the sight before they left the following day.
Here are a few photos but more in my Facebook....

Andrew, Lai Meng, Wei ( my younger sister ) and I.


Wei & I at Changi Terminal 1, behind us is the Kinetic Rain display.

Cosby bought us a white orchid for our garden, when we passed by the nursery nearby after our breakfast at Siglap.

Tentatively, they plan to be visiting again but staying longer at the end of this year.... for post Xmas shopping....?
