Kinetic Rain
Art installation for the Departure-Check-in hall of Terminal 1 at Singapore Airport. “Kinetic Rain” is composed of two parts, each consisting of 608 rain droplets made of lightweight aluminum covered with copper.

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.

The Woodbot Pilots – instalation
In 2009, North Kingdom met with Adopticum and immediately got excited about the potential of the 3D camera technology developed by Optronic and especially that the camera can measure the distance between you and the camera. This led to an application submitted to Vinnova, who accepted the project and partly funded it. We have combined an 82-inch touch-screen with the 3D camera to allow you to interact with characters, called Woodbots. “The difference between Xbox Kinect and our camera is that we are using time of flight. Kinect uses a more »
