12.Inside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice.Is it worth the wait?Yes,I assure you it is.Once inside,visitors find a long,dark room with a high ceiling.A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors.The mist.The damp air.The noise.It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down.But the storm is inside.And visitors aren't getting wet.Instead,visitors wander in awe,admiring the rain and the artists who created it.
The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans,nature and technology.With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move,it does just that.Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign.The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month.I urge you to visit before then.It's time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!
