Kinetic Rain Display
A few weeks back while at the airport I saw the new Kinetic rain sculpture which was installed in terminal 1. It is made of 1,216 raindrops which move in unison exhibiting graceful, fluid movements based on a computer generated sequenced. 
Each droplet is controlled by an individual motor which is housed in th
-
e ceiling of the departure hall. There are 16 different shapes in a 15-min segment. Some of the shapes include an aeroplane, hot air balloon and a kite.
The raindrops are made of bronze and weigh 180g. It was created over a span of 20 months and looks really magnificent.
Do they have such sculptures at your local airport?

I saw this when I brought my son to The Canopy @ T1 last weekend. It’s indeed very beautiful and unique. After I left the place, I questioned myself why I didn’t take a picture of it. Today, I’m so glad to see it here. Nice pics, Dom! 🙂

What a cool sculpture! The NY airports are full of great sculptures…most notably the plaster curtains as you enter customs back into the us!

I love rain… and rain drops. 🙂 Those look really cool.
Our airport has a couple of old biplanes hanging from the ceiling… that’s all I can remember.
