Random International: The Rain Room

RANDOM INTERNATIONAL'S RAIN ROOM INSTALLATION AT THE BARBICAN CENTRE IN LONDON, PHOTOGRAPHED BY NAT URAZMETOVA, SOME/THINGS AGENCY 

" Rain Room is the latest in a series of projects that specifically explore the behaviour of the viewer and viewers: pushing people outside their comfort zones, extracting their base auto-responses and playing with intuition. Observing how these unpredictable outcomes will manifest themselves, and the experimentation with this world of often barely perceptible behaviour and its simulation is our main driving force." - Random International

This exhibition from art collective Random International at Curve at the Barbican Centre is just another of their unique experimental artworks that truly rely on interaction from the viewer. Rain Room is a precisely timed downpour that instantly parts as you walk through it. The exhibition's formidable popularity means that the Barbican has seen queues of up to 4 hours at peak times on weekends - so if you're in London any time between now and the 3rd of March, I suggest you get down and see it.
