The cure for anything is salt water — tears, sweat, or the sea.—Isak Dinesen, 1934
[vimeo http://vimeo.com/45188800 w=700&h=390] ART+COM was commissioned to create an art installation for the Departure-Check-in hall of Terminal 1 at Singapore Airport while it was being refurbished. “Kinetic Rain” is composed of two parts, each consisting of 608 rain droplets made of lightweight aluminum covered with copper. Suspended from thin steel ropes above the two opposing escalators, each droplet is moved by a computer-controlled motor hidden in the hall's ceiling. The drops follow a 15-minute, computationally designed choreography where the two parts move together in unison, sometimes mirroring, sometimes complementing and sometimes responding to each other.
You don't just need water to drink. You need it to do things like wash away poo.

Nice idea for raising awareness. Very emailable.
Saw this on You Might Find Yourself, it's taken by a guy called wangyuanzheng. It's pretty simple - there's not much to it, but I love it.
