Artificial Rain Room

This looks like it must have been a cool final product, from what I could tell in the short clip that was posted. Perhaps one area of improvement would be a longer video of the product for those who could not be there to see it in person. The idea was really nice, and I am glad you decided to go with it, despite the fact that it was fairly risky since creating the rain effect is easier said than done. The context section of this documentation is very well done, because it helped explain your process and the pieces that influenced your idea. Perhaps another thing that could have helped would have been choosing a darker area for this installation to go. In this way, the "rain" would be easier to see and perhaps could even become more interesting if you chose to vary color or speed of the projections. Overall though, great work for how little time we had!

Although this might be the most straight forward way to work with twine by hanging them up, the outcome combined with projection was really wonderful! It looked so elegant and enticing that whoever has a glance at it would be fascinated by it immediately. But, to be honest, watching the projection pattern moving down the twine didn’t remind me anything about the rain… I guess it might be the reason that the pattern was projected onto each twine in uniformly, which makes it unnatural. Yet, I enjoyed the overall effect very much and the outcome created a sense of liminal space very well. As also suggested in the other comment, you probably would like to incorporate a longer video demonstrating the fascinating effect of your work! Besides, there are some minor issues with the documentation, but overall it’s good and understandable ;)

The final product of your project is really beautiful! The goal of creating the visual experience of rain was definitely successful, especially with the material you used, and the project works really well in the dark space between the bookshelves. I also like how the project is placed so that people might stumble upon it, instead of having it out in the open. I think it would be a really enjoyable experience to randomly find your project, and I agree that having some audio would be useful in drawing people in. Your documentation was clear, and the context was well written and informative. Great job!

I was definitely impressed with your installation when I saw it! It was very beautiful, and I would love to see it hang around campus in more places.

I think you could expand on this with other shapes besides linear lines. To make it more similar to rain, you could have incorporated irregular length lines that fall down at different intervals and such. I think it would add to the illusion.

I think your project has the potential to attract a lot of people. Have you thought about how to incorporate viewer participation?
