I was afraid at first to take a piece of the candy, thinking someone would see me and yell at me. But I was participating in the way the artist intended, and the whole experience was just incredibly moving.
But then I noticed a small cord, that seemed to be attached to the base of the sofa, extending back to a small, white box.

For this site-specific installation, Creed fills half the space of a room with balloons, giving tangible form to something that’s usually invisible: the air around you. This lively artwork is meant to be enjoyed as you walk through it and not just viewed from outside. In Chicago, the artist has installed four versions of this work in different neighborhoods throughout the city, choosing a different color balloon for each site to give the installations their own feeling.
Built by Berlin studio ART+COM, the Kinetic Rain sculpture at Changi Airport Singapore is composed of 1,216 individual rain droplets. Each one dangles by a thin, steel rope and is controlled by a computer and individual motor.
Go away for a week, and it’s surprising what you miss. For the last few days, I’ve been going to work a different way.
